Egypt

I am still working on my Egypt

project.  

So this is what I have to 

share with my scrapbook pages.

Today I will share pages made on 

different papers with 

brown backgrounds.

Sometimes when we look at our papers, 

and then at our pictures, it is hard to 

envision what paper to scrapbook 

on.  For these pictures, I wanted simple

but in colors that matched where we were.

I chose brown, and as I was

going through the papers, I thought

would these work, will they show the best 

in the photos.

  

Here are my results.

We were visiting a Muslim Temple here

and the arches just fascinated me.  I really wanted  those arches to 

stand out in the layout.

Robin's Nest Products used:

Glitter Brown Classic Swirl CS

Brown Herringbone CS

 Italy Sticker

Gold Glitter Letters

Dew drops and diamond drops

Honeycomb chipboard

This layout is one of my fav's 

I used the Mens Paisley paper.

It is more muted with a little red in it

and when I added these photos with the 

sand and red covering on the camels, it 

just worked great.

Again I used the Gold glitter letters.

One thing I noticed when I was trying to letter these pages

I learned that most other companies, have

only a few vowels on their letter stickers.

If you look on Robin's Nest letter stickers,

there is an abundance of vowels,

letting me spell out words on about 5 pages with only one

sheet of letter stickers.

Again I have used the Men's Paisley Paper,

It was dark enough to let the 

light color of the tombs be more important

and show more than the paper.

Great paper for simple pages other 

than what we think it can be used for.

I also used the Hottie Sticker on this page.

I used the Ancient Map paper on this page,

Which Rachel just told me is now retired.

I made me feel like the era of 

Alexandria I was putting on the page.

I love this paper, I will miss it for sure.

This is the Palm tree Cardstock back side.

All of Cairo is filled with palm trees, so this just gave a little

punch to the simple Church I was scrapbooking.

This is the Palm Tree paper front side.

Even though there are no Palm Trees around the 

Pyramids, the background of the paper

fit perfect.  I also brought color to a 

very sandy colored area of Egypt.

You still have that feeling that you are in the middle

of this ancient and incredible building 

of the world.

So you can see that the papers you 

use really can influence the look of your pages

you are scrapbooking.

I so love this, and when the entire book of 

Egypt is put together,

the pages and book will flow from one page to the next.

Coordinating papers work great, 

and they can come from different collections, 

and different companies.
