The Gardens @Getty Museum by Esther


I was so excited to see the new Basic Grey paper with bright cheery colors. This suits my scrapping style. This two-page layout shows outside views at Getty Museum. I started on a solid cardstock and built layers adding Sticles doodling. Transparency journaling was done on MS Publisher & printed on an HP. Journaling along five 2"x3" views: blue skies-colorful flowers-mountains-fountains-greenery-stone-steel-sun! Also, Views of Los Angeles (fog in the AM & sun in the PM.)", the title, "The Gardens @." & journaling under my photo: "Thomas & Esther visited the gardens outside the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California. The museum was a great visit. This was our first visit to the new location. Outside the garden areas were well-planned & beautifully appointed. We saw fountains and terraced areas. Colorful flowers were cascading from a basket sculpture of steel. The architecture was a magnificent blend with the landscape in the mountainous area of west L.A. Esther posed for a photo in the round fountain section on that windy, but sunny day in 2006." Under the vertical photo on right: "Vines intertwined the posts in the walkway."
I hope you have enjoyed this too! Let me hear your comments on the visit to Getty?
TIP: When planning to print on a transparency for a layout, plan ahead by working up & printing on a sheet to size to the space. Then, print the transparency on rough side. Let dry thoroughly. Cut to size & shape. The challenge is to adhere - maybe stickers or under cardstock, as done here.

What a fun & colorful layout! You used sooo many elements - and they look great together! Thanks for the printing tip...I will have to try transparencies soon.
