Flying High with Lisa Truesdell

Happy Friday, October Afternoon fans! I'm back today to share another layout using Rocket Age with you.

 

I'm currently addicted to using subtle patterned papers as backgrounds, and October Afternoon's b-sides are perfect for this! I started this page using the b-side of Space Station, and then brought in some contrast by adding a strip of Blast Off along the left. I positioned my photos (one 4x6 from my camera, one strip of 2in prints from my phone) on either side of the divide. I surrounded the photos with small embellishments that supported the theme of my page - the labels stickers and miscellany are perfect for this! Since I had quite a bit of journaling, I typed it on a piece of ledger paper and added it to the top right corner.

 

The little boy in this chipboard rocket reminded me of Sam, so I couldn't resist using it on this page! The rubber charm sentiment fit right above the space ship, and I finished the page with some buttons and Sam's patient bracelet from his ER trip. Like I said last week, I'm trying to be better about actually *using* the memorabilia that I save - I love the personal touch it adds.

I just got a box with Boarding Pass in it - I can't wait to get into it and make something else to share with you all. See you soon!
