Pirate Layout


My son had a pirate party when he was 4 years old (He is now going into 8th grade) and when we had this new set in the Summer Idea Book, I had to get it. I haven't dug out the photos from his party yet, but I remember we had a treasure hunt and a pinata.

While I was designing the layout, I remembered I had made some ATC cards for an alphabet swap where I got the letter "X" and made X marks the spot at my theme. I used a clip art image from microsoft and modified it and added a small square window from our Spring Idea Book and then added a small jewel from Michaels. You'll see it on the layout as an element.

The colors are Garnet, Colonial White, Olive and Black. There is also a touch of green in the map on the ATC Card. I used out Ahoy Matey stamp set from CTMH for these pages and did lots of stamping and distressing with our exclusive inks.
I plan on adding vellum journaling off the computer to the journal box at the bottom of the second page. I hope I can find the photos soon! We had a flood at out last home and some of the photos were damaged. I'm hoping I have some to add here, otherwise I'll have lots of journaling spaces and will have to improvise with some photos!
Hope you enjoy!
I still have a few Spring Idea books and some summer ones if you'd like to buy one, let me know and I'll be happy send one out to you. My email address is at my website home page: www.LLWCreate.MyCTMH.com
