Of course, it's the cheapy end of their ranges and is single sided and thinner than the papers I originally bought. This makes me want to pop them away and ignore them! So I've attacked them straight away and done a couple of layouts from them using as -yet-unscrapped Road Trip photos.
This first one is for Sketchy Thursdays 5.6 - The Scenic Route.
Valley of Fire State Park, Daddy and the beautiful hire car!I then went right outside the box with this one for The Mill Pond's latest Write It Challenge. The task was to incorporate your title within your journaling and try something different with your title and or journaling that you personally have not tried before. Well, I've certainly done that! I've never done such a large title and I've certainly not stamped and cut out such a lot for a title before either. My journalling is between the lines of the title:
I'm not happy with the large balloon, but I'd stuck it down before I realised that I should have folded a piece of paper and just done half a balloon (like paper dolls). I rectified that for the tiny balloons and you can see the lines up their middles! I do enjoy making that grass, although it is time consuming.
A close up so you can see the journalling / title / grass and balloon.I'm not sure the journalling is visible in the picture, but the gist of the story... Mark is a friend of my Dad's and we knew he'd be at Albuquerque for the Balloon Fiesta. We hadn't arranged to meet up, but after the mass ascension on the second day we were there he just found us on the field! It's a BIG place and it was amazing how he managed it. A little bit of home in the middle of America.

You might not like the quality of the papers Laura, but both pages have turned out fab. I love that grass - I once did it for a cc and it is sooooooooo time consuming, you're right, but well worth it. The balloons are pretty cool too.
Oh Laura you are so funny - never mind about the darn papers, they are lovely layouts especially the first one and noone will know the papers arent thick and heavy double siders if you dont tell.
These are fab, Laura! (I'm with you on flimsy papers but these look just fine.)

What a great interpretation of the challenge Laura! I love the bright papers you have used and the long title and journaling look great.
Thanks for joining in with the Indigo Mill challenge :-)
