Florida Album continued...

Still on Day One here :)

A double page spread for when we arrived at Universal Studios

A little bit of a closer view of the page on the left. I just started layering and distressing the deges of papers to mat my photos. Seems to be a theme through this album.

 

Decided to do another two page spread and but needed to do a separate story about the ray gun.

Journaling:
Evan loved his Space Ray gun that Mike bribed him with to get him to go the "Men in Black" ride. That gun went with him everywhere defending us!

That is such a huge memory from the trip! I couldn't go on ANY of the rides at Universal. Being pregnant and at amusement parks is not a good combination. And Evan was a little hesitant to go on most rides at Universal. But once Mike got him on "Men in Black" Evan was a little more willing. I added the receipts to the little pocket because of the additional journaling. We ended up buying TWO guns. A little orange camouflage hand gun at Islands of Adventure in Jurassic Park, so they could play guns together. It's a boy thing I guess. (lol)

Then that night we ended up at Nascar Sports Grill on the CityWalk for dinner. I am not a huge Nascar fan, but Evan was at the time :) And the food there was really, really good.
Absolutely LOVE the two photos on the left and they just had to end up in the album. I have to say we are not huge gun fans here, but during this period we did let Evan have a few toy guns.

And one more slightly closer view of a single page. This is where the Basic Grey Wander line really started coming into play.
So far in the album I used some really old papers from my stash. We are talking like ten years old! But also am using the Wander line by Basic Grey, Everyday Eclectic by Echo Park, Rocket Age by October Afternoon and a little bit of the Love, Elsie and Studio Calico Abroad. Instead of trying to use just one line or company, I decided to mix it up depending on the photos and theme.
I also plan on using some Ready, Set Go by Amy Tangerine, and a few lines by Simple Stories, Crate Paper and a ton more by October Afternoon.
Really excited to work some more on this album!
I will have a few more pages to share on Friday. :)

I am also announcing the winner of the Scrapbooking From the Inside Out Respect kit on the Craft Your Nest blog as well today!
See you Friday!
