I have long been a fan of Elizabeth Peter's novels about Amelia Peabody and her husband Emerson, intrepid Egyptologists and solvers of mysteries, so I knew exactly what I wanted to do for this week's Lasting Memories "Best Seller" challenge: create an Egypt themed layout based on the title of one of her books! There were several I could have chosen from for these photos, but "The Mummy Case" was an obvious winner. I even used the cover of the book as inspiration for some of the design features on my layout.
I was really tempted to add a cat die-cut, but I thought it would detract from the theme of the layout so I resisted. Speaking of cats, did you know the Egyptians sometimes mummified cats? We saw a couple of them at the museum.
