SWEET LITTLE MAN - CHINA 2013

CHINA 2013 - SCRAPBOOKING

I love to travel and I have a very large bucket list of places that I want to see in my lifetime. Last year I went to China with a group of wonderful people some of whom I have met in Italy a few years ago and some who are now part of my traveling family. These trips are specific adventures that including Ali Edwards and her philosophy of Telling Your Own story. 

This month I will be sharing pages that I created from this trip using various lines such as Crate Paper, Echo Park, Stampin Up, October Afternoon just to name a few. 

Join me on this trip of a life time through my eyes.

White Emperor City (Baidi City)

A few miles into Fenjie County, on the northern bank of the Yangtze River is Baidi City (White Emperor City), also called Baidi Temple. It is located on Baidi Mountain at the mouth of Qutang Gorge, one of the Three Gorgers of the Yangtze River.

This little guy was at one of the markets we passed on our way to a Baidi Temple, he was so adorable and loved having his picture taken.

I love to stamp on many of my images it adds a uniqueness to the image and makes it even more part of the page. Layering is a big part of my designs, I like mixing textures and colors and of course you need something shiny, sequence is an important embellishment and cheap way of adding bling.

What are you favorite embellishments to use on your pages? Do you like to go outside of the box, for me I like picking up different items on the trip that I can add to pages later such as labels, business cards, bags and papers or playing cards.
