This is my latest layout for
The Memory Nest using the below sketch. First of all, doing a layout with me as the subject matter rarely happens. In 1998, I had the opportunity to travel with a local high school to Paris, throughout the south of France, and finally to Barcelona, Spain. In 1998, I neither scrapbooked nor took the amount of pictures I wish I had while I was there. While on this trip, a friend of mine snapped this picture of me sitting on a bridge with the Notre Dame Cathedral behind me. This trip was one of the greatest experiences of my life. When the terrorist attack took place in Paris in November 2015, I used this photo as my facebook profile picture in support of the people of France. When I saw this sketch, I thought the picture fit perfectly into the design. I used fleur-de-lis paper to symbolize France, and a tag I found in my favorite place to find unique embellishments; the Michael's $1 bin. Finally, I dipped into my stash of Pink Paislee "Bella Rouge" paper to create the "City of Love" feel that Paris evokes. Even though this trip happened a long time ago, I'm glad I finally scrapped my time in France.
