I loved Breising's "Rome - Trevi Fountain" beautiful layout and clever design so much (see

that I had to scrap-lift its concept and figure out a way to do it justice in paper form. This is the result.

I printed two huge copies of my selected photograph and then crafted a circle from tracing paper and marked where I wanted the cut lines, to make sure they were strategically placed and didn't cut through the middle of the faces, etc. Once I had that, I stacked the photos and put the tracing paper on top and carefully trimmed the photos.

I reassembled the images on a second piece of paper that was the same as my 12 x 12 background paper paper, leaving parallel gaps between the sections of photo to create the lines, then mounted that on the bright blue to frame the globe.

I used one of the old scrapbook scissors with a 'fancy' cutting blade to create the ragged edge to the bottom 'globe' since I didn't want to try tearing the individual photo sections. Then, I mounted the lower globe pieces directly to the base 12 x 12 page. The half-tone was achieved by placing a piece of vellum over the top of the photo sections.

Once the 'base' globe was set, I added the upper main globe, then the inset portrait image, die cuts, page title, (cut on the Cricut.. might be the Stone Script font) and journaling.
