Less is More

The colors in the Marrakech line were so vibrant and rich, I immediately thought of the photos I took in Copacabana a couple of years ago. My two-page layout has five 4x6 photos and could get a little busy. Using just a little bit of patterned paper, some of the coordinating Basic Grey solid that has that fabulous subtle print, and a lot of white cardstock sets off the photos. The strips of patterned paper and the cardstock border sticker help to draw your eye across the page. Another cardstock sticker serves as the pull for the hidden journaling. You know I love scallops and the blue patterned paper's design worked perfectly to create a scalloped border as well as the four-petal flower.

thanks for stopping by!

PS. These photos are primarily of La Cupola, the hotel we stayed in in Copacabana. It was located on a hillside over the lake with a main building and a number of outbuildings with guest rooms. Each one was completely different. No phone (except in the office), no TV, no heat, but quite peaceful. My room didn't photograph well but it had a ladder that went up to the door in the floor/ceiling in order to climb up into the room. Too cool! The view of Lake Titicaca was fabulous!
