I love your travel layouts. Your photos are so good and you include maps, which I like. This is a really good one.

Great page. I really like the way you have blended the map into the background. Nice photos of the signs - works well to identify where you are as well as being interesting shots. Great journaling, too.

What great pictures! Really tells the story about where you were! I really like how you super imposed the map -- clever idea!! Great layout!

What a beautiful background with the map blended into your photo! Love that you include pictures of the signs I try to remember to do that, too.

That's it? You're right, what humble beginnings! This is another beautiful LO. I like the big picture as the focus and the smaller pictures as accents.

Very interesting layout.I love the map in the bg.

What a beautiful layout! I really like the map, and I LOVE the journaling! Thanks for joining the challenge!

This page means a lot to me because Itaska State Park is a place my family visited when I was a little girl, my husband and I went to on our honeymoon, and our family stopped at to camp when the boys were younger. Lovely, rustic page with the corrugated, cardboard, curled, and grungy textures. I like the blended photo in the background with the map above --- cool effect! How did you get a photo without any people in it? Whenever we've been there, lots of folks were wading across the "Mighty Mississippi"!

I love your LO! You're so creative! Enjoyed the journaling, the ghosted map and the matting of the photos. Nice embellishments!
