More safari in Tanzania

23/05/2013 by heatherawsumb

I kind of can’t believe that the hundreds and hundreds of photos I took while in safari in Tanzania have basically been pared down to these photos and the layout I did previously about the Big 5. I need to think about what other stories I can document with those photos. I have so many good ones!

This is a 2-pager I did. Here’s the left page:

and then the right …

2013-05_safari-2-forweb

Supplies: Katie Pertiet: Day Out Kit, Striping Grunge Edgers No 1, William Paper Pack, Basic Paper Alpha: White; Patti Knox: A to Zoo Kit; Mindy Terasawa: Little Safari Kit; One Little Bird Designs: These Walls Kit

Design Notes:

1) I added the row of circles to the right because I thought it added a nice touch of contrast and I thought it looked to square and block-y without.

2) I have a good assortment of elements with a safari/zoo theme like the stickers I in the circles. I’m a sucker for cute elephants especially. I really wanted to work as many of them in as possible on this layout.

3) I took the basic photo structure from a sketch that I’ve had in my files for awhile and then tweaked it a bit. The biggest change was adding the “shelf” to the bottom – a trick I learned in the “Scrapbook Coach” class “On the Shelf”.

4) You may have noticed a trend on my pages that I use A LOT of kraft paper for my background. It’s a compulsion. I usually start designing without any background paper and then add it once I’ve selected my patterned papers. I tried white and thought it was too light, I tried navy blue and thought it was too dark and I even tried another version of kraft paper but ended up with my “go to” kraft from the “These Walls Kit” by One Little Bird Designs. It’s my all-time favorite kraft.
