Last fall, I posted a few peeks at the
pages I created about
my trip to New York last summer, which was a wonderful, memorable, quick trip. I took a bit of a blogging hiatus shortly afterward, and didn't post these, so here they are! I scrapped most of these up at Uncle Danny's right before Labour Day, so it's funny that I'm posting them around the same time of year. This page documents my first steps in Central Park.
Once upon a time I used to work for the Le Meridien hotel chain. It was a wonderful place to work. One of my colleagues visited New York and stayed at the Parker Meridien, so I researched it as I planned my trip. How unexpected is it that there is a burger joint hidden away in a corner of the lobby in this luxurious hotel? I would never have expected it, but I'm sure glad I found it. The burgers, fries and shakes are amazing!
Here is my plane as it approaches New York City. This page is a scraplift of a layout I saw last year in a copy of
Scrapbook Trends magazine. I loved the multiple hanging banners and wanted to make a page just like it. In the time it's taken me to post this page, I've lost track of the original artist, but if it's you (or you know who I can give credit to) please leave a comment and I will properly thank the original designer.
Since I was alone at the gate on my way home (my brother was flying directly to Edmonton) I brought some scrapbooking supplies with me to keep me busy while I waited to depart. What better thing to scrap about while at an airport than the city you visited! The
Smash album I used was compact and easy to work with on my lap. I completed two, double-page spreads on my lap at the gate! It was truly the icing on the cake of a fantastic trip.
