This is the first of my Grand Canyon layouts - there will be many more. No matter how large I print the photos, I just cannot do justice to the Canyon experience. The photo on the left page was printed as an 8 x 10 and I used it full size. The top photo on the right was printed as a 5 x 7 and again, I did not trim the photo. The Grand Canyon was so completely.... GRAND.... and that is difficult to document.
The left page contains only two Cricut cuts, the GRAND CANYON frame from Destinations and a photo mat. The GC frame is supposed to have a canyon cut in the middle section, but I used Design Studio and resized the frame to hold my 8 x 10 photograph. This photograph was taken by "My Friend Kathy" as dh and I took in the AWESOME view.
The right page contains only one Cricut cut - I saved the negative cut from the middle of the left page frame and used it as a background mat on the right page. Recycle, reduce, REUSE! The cute little Bucket List was a purchased die cut from Scrap Your Trip, but I created one for My Friend Kathy's layout using the Destinations cartridge. And speaking of MFKathy, she had the BRILLIANT idea to use the large background matting as a pocket to hold the brochures!! How BRILLIANT is that? I was VERY impressed and I am convinced that idea sharing is one of the big benefits of group scrapping! Especially when your friends are as amazing scrappers as my friends!!!
Are you getting tired of my Vegas trip layouts? I have more to share but I do not want to bore you.
