Pieces of Pompeii Layout

It's been several weeks since I completed my first layout documenting our visit to the Pompeii exhibit at the Natural History Museum, but I finally got around to scrapping the rest of the photos. This double page spread focuses on photos of artifacts retrieved from the site, only a few of which I could fit on my layout, while a few more are in photo storage pages. The journaling reads: Buried under 14-17 feet of ash and pumice, Pompeii's existence was forgotten for centuries, making it a relatively undisturbed time capsule of Roman life during the 1st century A.D.

Christmas Luncheon Layout

This layout started out with a sketch by Becky Higgins, but it soon mutated into something else entirely! I used to love Becky's sketches a lot, but for some reason I now find myself frustrated when I use them. This was my third and final attempt at pulling photos off the page and moving everything around, but at least now I'm done and can move on to a new layout

Some more pictures of the USS Midway. I used a brayer and Greg Wool ink to roll the background color onto White Daisy cardstock, and the results remind me of industrial steel, perfect for this layout.
