San Francisco Bay

I have had these photographs for a while now and the other night it hit me how I wanted to scrap them, what they need is a good dose of less is more. My dad plays Trad Jazz on the banjo, he and mum did a bit of a tour around the United States going to various jazz festivals. One of those stops was at San Francisco, where dad got to partake in one of his other hobbies…fishing. These are the only pic’s I have of their trip, quite possibly because dad knows that “San Francisco Bay” is one of my favourite tunes.

I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of an order of goodies from the new catalogue, so I am distracting myself by using products and techniques that I have not used in a while. Both stamp sets and the patterned paper used for this page have been deleted, but I am so happy to see the return of the 1/4 inch Choc Chip Grosgrain Ribbon.

I love to journal and hiding it is not my usual style, but some times you have photo’s that speak for themselves and these ones I felt should be left to do so. I have made a tag for a bit of hidden journaling using a jumbo eyelet and grosgrain ribbon, tied off with a little linen thread.
