This obviously is the title page of Colorado trip album. I featured all the participants of my dh's extended family outing. The four big photos depict one carload. We took them during the drive obviously. The smaller, circular ones are the passengers of the other car. (One was that of MIL - but she isn't a fan of having her photo taken, let alone allowing others to look at it. So it has been blotted out in deference to that.)

I used ditress ink for the first time on this LO and found it really added to the look. The brown background paper was crumpled first and then rubbed with the ink. And the photos are edged with it as well.

The title was a black die cut, but I thought it looked too dark for the LO. So, I pained it with acrylic paint until I got the right coloring and then mounted in on white paper and then handcut around it. I also borrowed an idea from the gallery (specifically from "Tranquility" by MissyGinCT) and used alphabet stickers to make a mask to paint over to place names directly on the larger photos. (I left only the first letters to give an idea of what they look like on the photos.) I found I didn't have enough "A's" though and ended up using the backing paper and my Xyron. I can't tell the difference... another way to make those stickers go farther I guess.
