Summer pages with Echo Park Go See Explore

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't posted in ages, I'm not sure how many people still read blogs, or whether more of it has moved to instagram now...so if you are reading, do leave me a comment and let me know you are there and I can keep on posting and also hunt down your blog if you have one too.

Here are a couple of pages that I did for the Cybercrop over at A Trip Down Memory Lane - the classes are there and available - this one was called Ticket to Ride and featured the beautiful Go See Explore papers from Echo Park.  I have been enjoying the recent watercolour trend in scrapbooking and it's made me get out my paints and try all sorts of colours, so that's how this page started.  I also love a little camera and ended up with a little line of them hanging down from my papers.

The photo is from our summer holidays - where our pool was possible more inflatable than pool - there were doughnuts, crocodiles, watermelons...

Here is a close of up of some of the camera work and painty bits.

The next page in this class involved a map paper - I do like a map paper, and I went for multi-photo - so some shots around our villa - it was idyllic, and a beautiful place in Majorca with loads of lovely coves and beaches.  There is a tiny dot on the paper which is Majorca, so that is where the arrows lead.

I used lots of fussy cutting to add little details to the page.

I even tried a bit of my own handwriting for the title, and I'm trying to journal lots too, though sometimes that's after I've put the photos on the web!

Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed looking at the pages, and I will be back with some more later on in the week.
