Page Remake: Road Trip!


I really should include the before picture, but suffice it to say that the page I made was totally bare.  I relied on the placement of the pictures and that was about it.  And in pencil I wrote "Crazy in Alabama" which I thought was a plausible title, and the title of a movie that was shown not long before (1999) I made the page (2000).

It's a little more than twelve years ago, but the memories of that very first road trip I took when I was in the US are still very vivid in my mind.  My friend, Rod, was going to attend a wedding in Birmingham, AL.  I, on the other hand, just finished my thesis proposal defense and was badly in need of a break.  So we drove down to Alabama, and spent one long day getting there.  The trip was great though, we stayed at Mario and CK's apartment for a few days.  When we drove back, we left after lunch and got back in the wee hours of the morning.  It was exhausting, but definitely worth the long drive.

This is also my entry to Challenge #20 at the Filipino Scrapbookers Challenge Blog.  I've been a little busy with other projects (tags and ATCs) for swaps that I joined over the summer break (which I have yet to post), that I haven't done any layouts of late.  I think I might've gotten a bit rusty, but I still have many pictures from this trip that I plan to make several pages out of them.

Materials:  Patterned paper (K & Company), chipboard die cuts and alphabet stickers (All About Scrapbooking), pen (Stabilo), others - vellum, metallic paper, recycled paper bag.
