Sistah's trip to NYC -- day 2 (MORE LOs added)

Post by Yoli »

This LO is part of a series commemorating a sistah's trip to NYC. This LO marks the beginning of day 2 of our trip. We started our day by having breakfast at Lindy's where we saw Sinbad the comedian. Unfortunately we did not have the courage to interrupt his breakfast meeting just to say hi and take a picture with him. So off we went to tour the city. What better way to tour Manhattan than on a double decker bus. See first photo below.

The second photo is a close up of the city skyline I created for this LO. The paper with the skyline I believe is from Basic Grey. I used my x-acto knife to cut out a few buildings and placed pop dots behind the buildings to create dimension.

For the title I actually used my embossing pen! It's been so many years since I last used that embossing pen that I was honestly surprised to find it had not dried out. LOL.

The last picture is just to show you I'm finally learning to get a little inky. :-) I've changed the journaling since I took this picture but the composition remains the same. TFL!

Adding another LO of my NYC trip. Photos taken while enjoying a tour of Manhattan on a double decker bus.

Until now I had always scrapped 12x12 pages. But to add a little interest in my scrapbook album I've started adding pages of different sizes. This LO is 8.5" x 11". I absolutely luv, luv, luv the embellishment on this page. The slide viewer embellishment was inspired by the work of the talented crew over at the Button Farm.

To take the original idea from Button Farm up a notch I added photos to my view finder embellishment. My printer allows me to print a contact sheet whose photos work perfectly in the slide viewer slots. As the pièce de résistance I added a metal embellishment of a NYC manhole cover in the middle of the view finder. Luv it, luv it, luv it!!!

I had never thought about mixing page sizes - that's a wonderful idea!

I do it all the time in mini-albums so I thought why not in my reg 12x12 scrapbook.

Thanks! I bought this one as part of a kit but found a baggie full of view finder slides at my local thrift store. I paid $1.99 for about 20 of them.

I'm loving the NYC pictures, so ready to go back. What a great idea to mix the page sizes and I love the view finder idea. I think maybe I have some old ones somewhere, will have to look for them.
