After enjoying a relaxing week's vacation, I am back to the old routine, including finishing up a scrapbook layout that I started a couple of weeks ago but set aside because I couldn't figure out how to finish it. I had the papers selected and the pictures adhered, but hadn't managed to progress beyond that when my mojo deserted me! I pulled it out this morning and checked out some challenges, and that gave me the impetus to finish it. The photos were taken at the King Tut exhibit in L.A. several years ago and feature his golden shrine, decorated with images of everyday life for the pharaoh and his queen.
Recipe:
Land of Pharaohs paper (Stamperia)
Desert Sand, Carolina, Garnet & Colonial White cardstock
Desert Sand & Carolina ink
Ancient Egypt Ephemera book (Ruth Harding - purchased on Amazon)
Gold Shimmer Trim
Teal enamel dots
Star Punch (EK Success)
Cricut Artbooking cartridge: sunburst border
Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge: title, postage stamp frames
Challenges: A Cut Above Anything Goes including a die-cut; Let's Craft and Create #221 Anything Goes with optional twist to use a hand punch and/or die-cut (I did both!); Paper Rocks Scissors #6 - used the scissors to cut the ends of the gold shimmer trim banners.
