Tut Exhibit - Enjoy Every Moment Layout

I only have two layouts left to finish from 2018, both from the King Tutankhamun exhibit we went to in July of that year, so I got to work and completed one of the two. Hopefully I can complete the other one by tomorrow, so I can start 2026 by scrapping a new year. Yes, that year is 2019, so an old year, but still, it seems neater!


There are more photos on the facing pocket page of my album, so I added a pocket card with journaling on it, using the current Try a Sketch on Tuesday card sketch. 

And here is just one photo of the many shabtis found in Tut's tomb, intended to keep him from having to perform any work in the afterlife!

Recipe:
Land of Pharaohs papers (Stamperia)
Aged & Confused Vagabond paper (Basic Grey)
Saddle, Autumn Terracotta & White Daisy cardstock
Bamboo, Saddle & Outdoor Denim ink
Sienna & Black fineliner pens (iBayam)
Vicki Boutin Old Soul ephemera (American Crafts)
Ancient Egypt Ephemera book (Ruth Harding - purchased on Amazon)
Gold ribbon (Celebrate It)
Staple
Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge: butterfly
Challenges: Crafter's Cafe #325 - Anything goes with optional twist of yellow/gold (gold in the photos + on the stars + gold ribbon on the journaling card); Let's Craft & Create #226 - Anything goes with optional vintage feel (vintage is not a strength of mine, so this is as probably as good as it's gonna get!);  NBUS #81 - my never-before-used-schtuff is the Vicki Boutin ephemera; Triple B - a butterfly and a vase of blooms.

For the journaling card: Double Trouble #206 - 3 stars + 2 patterned papers + 1  Egypt ephemera piece & 1 gold ribbon
