Sea Overleaf: a Scrapbook Page

"I want to see that map," he said

Sian F for Get It Scrapped

and after that we found the sea.

Thinking about summer holidays here; and road trips and fresh air and days with nothing ahead except a carefully chosen playlist, an unexpected viewpoint and a fish and chip supper ...


With a page put together for Get It Scrapped's new blog article on Telling A Bigger Visual Story

    Were your navigating skills in question? Shocking!

    Cute story ... just think of the adventures to be had with your style of map reading.

    Not trusted as the navigator then? I suppose turning two pages at once makes the journey quicker........?

    I have NEVER been trusted as a navigator, but I would like to point out that twice (perhaps three times) I have been correct in navigational questions while on our current road trip.

    After 28 years of marriage, we finally came up the perfect navigating solution - I drive, he directs. Lovely page - I like the way the stitching contains the large elements and looks as though it's trailing the little striped sailboat like a cloud.

    I really LOVE this one! I think it's the soft colours with the bright pops in between. And the black pun title.... & of course, it's something I can relate to. Go LEFT, LEFT, I scream, with my RIGHT arm out waving madly..... ooops..... ;)

    Sounds like you and I have similar map reading skills ... plus I have no sense of direction so have no warning that things have gone horribly wrong!

    A real map? My, my so nice to know someone still uses them. I'm usually the navigator in our family but we really haven't gone anywhere by car lately so I'm probably out of practice. Lovely layout.
