When I travel....



Life is beautiful

When I travel, I like to go for scenic drives, visit museums and art galleries and just fully absorb what the local culture has to offer. :) Travel shopping has taken a backseat since most things these days are "Made in China". I'm sure you know what I mean. It's so hard to find locally made stuff. *LOL* But if shoes and scrapping supplies are involved....then it's a totally different story...*winks*



Just a quick layout using My Mind's Eye patterned paper scraps. Lots of SRM stickers. A little stamping on shrink plastic.

Playing along with the challenge at Challenge Me Happy to make your own embellishments.

Supplies: My Mind's Eye patterned papers, SRM stickers, 7 Gypsies sticker, Maya Road stamp, StazOn black ink, American Crafts chipboard, lace, ribbon, brads, googly eye, button, black pen, paper clip.

*Edited* I am the winner at Challenge Me Happy! :)

    I know exactly what you mean, sometimes you feel as though you could be in any high street in any city!! I love to get as close to the 'real' culture as possible (always use local buses and taxis as they get you to the heart of local life) Love this layout. the clustering and being off centre.........gorgeous!
