Theresa's second July post

I don't think this qualifies technically as a layout. It feels more like pictures with a little decoration. In any case, it was kit inspired. I *love* that deep orange two-toned card stock.

  1. I love seeing these photos! Italy is so beautiful. I love how you used the little letters for the title and how you matted them. Very cool! I also love how you incorporated the prayer beads. I love them draped up there like that - it looks really neat. I also love the passport here. How cute is that! I love that embellishment. I wasn't until I saw your layout that I realized it opened. OMG! That's an adorable embellie! It looks great with this layout - it matches perfectly with the map (which was a very cool addition to the layout) and the patterned paper. I also love how you scrapbook different sizes. I am not so adventurous. But I think I might be doing an 8 x 8 book for myself soon. I am toying with an idea.

  2. Theresa, I loved this layout! So much so that I had to stop working on my second July project... which was of my husband's visit to Rome when he was in the Navy. Now I have to get yours out of my head! :) I loved how you used the orange paper through the middle, the matted letters that were off-center, and your writing in the passport. The beads are displayed beautifully, and the map makes a great background. The whole thing has a sophisticated feel, that I really admire.

  3. I love that you wrote in the passport - what a great idea! Something about the torn red-orange paper behind the title (brilliantly shadowed in black) just screams Italy to me. Perfect.
