The Texas Star is the Ferris Wheel at the State Fair of Texas. We don't attend the fair every year, but when we do, we always ride the Texas Star. I scrolled through our digital photos (and scanned in a couple of print photos) to find photos of us at the fair. I used Photoshop Elements to crop them and add the year, then printed them to use for this layout that I absolutely love! It makes me so happy when something turns out just like I envisioned it!
We are actually riding the Texas Star in all (except one) of these photos, and I especially like how you can see parts of the Ferris wheel in the background.
Have you ever seen a piece of patterned paper and immediately envisioned a completed layout? How did it turn out?
Fabulous page, Melissa. My pages with such specific paper usually don't turn out at all how I imagined, often disappointing.
ReplyDeleteI love this page. I always see these types of paper and never know who to approach them. Thank you for your inspiration. I wish I lived closer, Scrappin' Goodtime looks like a fun place to be. ~Ann
ReplyDeletevery cool!
ReplyDeleteWow, such a great layout
ReplyDeleteThis is just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteNow that's inspired, especially to place your photos as if on the wheel!
ReplyDeleteGreat page. I always enjoy pages with photos from different years. I've seen papers that made me think of something but I usually don't buy it since I like a solid background most of the time.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is so clever. I love it.
ReplyDeleteUsually my pages don't turn out anything like what I had imagined in my head...she said with a wry smile
What a fabulous idea! Your title and background all found in the oversized photo. Very clever!
ReplyDeleteTotally perfect!

Oh that is just amazing - I love that you can see the wheel in your photos too. Yes, I've occasionally seen a piece of paper and known what I want to do with it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great piece of patterned paper! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this! How awesome that you used photos of you taken in front of the Texas Star!
