Washington DC and Philadelphia

I quite liked the houndstooth paper.. But to outline it, i attached the ribbon arnd the edges so that there is a distinction in the layout..

Our day at DC and Philly was sooo hectic.. We went to 7places within a day! Barely 5mins for a breakfast stopover too.. and Lunch stopover at Maryland was a much needed break..

Thanks for looking!

This is our first weekend away (1-3rd Aug 2009) to show mum how the countryside looks, compared to Sri Lanka and England.. To me Waterloo reminded me of the outskirts of Christchurch and Scottish highlands.. So quiet and calm.. However, Aamish community doesnt exist in Christchurch, haha! Therefore this culture strongly exists in Waterloo which is located about 2hrs away from Toronto.. I had a relaxing weekend with my book and full clothed sunbathing (sadly cudnt be in a Bikini).. haha!

Thanks for looking at my blog! Have a good one!

Boston and New York.. of the US Trip

Took the vintage theme for these layouts..

Got just Washington DC andPenns Cave to complete before i send the album to mum.. this is my most cherished gift to her.. Hope she'd like this album.. I totally enjoyed distressing and inking the edges of the papers in the layouts..

Whereas in the New York layout - just above... I used two different papers for the middle portion, just to highlight the water excitement of the cruise ride to see Statue of Liberty, and the other pink vintage paper to match with the background from Madame Tussauds museum.. Journalled a whole heap of details on the tags and pinned them in with large brads.. First time i used them, haha.. cos I hardly get the chance to use big items!
