TWO PAGES FROM NEMOURS

I was able to complete two more layouts tonite!  

The first one starts with Laura's sketch on Boys Rule.

and here is my first layout:

 

I am also entering this one in Scrapbook.com May Monochrome Color 2 using an outdoor photo for the twist!

My next layout uses Scrapbook.com May PageMaps Sketch #2.

and here is my other layout:

I hope you have enjoyed the start of your tour of Nemours.  More tomorrow!  Sweet Dreams!

MORE FROM NSD

Here's a layout I did for the NSD Pick an Element Challenge over at A Cherry on Top.  The challenge was to pick three elements from this layout.

The elements I chose were the color red, arrows, border punches (and I have a bit of corrugated paper on it too!)

I used the April 15th sketch from over at Boys Rule.

and here is my first layout:

My next layout is for the Flying Unicorn Song Lyric/Poem Layout challenge.  I had several photos of the map collection at Winterthur so I looked for a poem about maps.

Here is the poem I chose:

A Map and a Dream

by Karen O'Donnell Taylor

Maps are more

than tiny lines

intersection

lace designs...

More than names

and colored dots,

rivers, mountains,

tourist spots.

Map are keys

to secret places

vast new world

and unknown faces.

I can trace each

graceful line...

Close my eyes

and in my mind

I can travel

anywhere...

A map, a dream

can take me there!

And here is the layout:

I am also entering this in Crafty Creations challenge #262 Anything but a Card.

I wasn't able to get as much done as I had hoped to today but most of the challenges are still open for most of tomorrow so hopefully I will be able to get a few more completed.

Sweet dreams!
