P2D: Road Trip
I love finding ideas from other scrappers and using their layouts as inspiration for my own. This following layout is such an example. I found this intriguing page on Daphne Wünn-Rihm’s website: Not only did I dig the composition, but I totally fell in love with the idea of stitching the silhouette of a city onto the page. So, using Mommyish’s Stitching actions and finding a simple outline of Paris online, I quickly recreated a page featuring just these things, while at the same time preserving my own style of scrapping (clustering). And look how my own page turned out: There you have it. The kit I used, by the way, is “Leaving on a Jet Plane by Kristin Cronin-Barrow & Shawna Clingerman, available at sweetshoppedesigns.com.
An Airport Tradition
It’s a tradition already. Every year, I take students and friends on a little bike trip to the airport.

Unquestionably, they enjoy the little excursion immensely, and I? I get to have a sunburn (on a not sunny day – or does it look like the sun is out on the pictures?) and a lot of extra exercise. (And I had the benefit of getting my bike cleaned, after it had collected dust for several months over the winter). Starting out from the school gate. We’ve arrived. First glimpses. Waiting for the planes to come in. And there is one!
