Scrapbook Generation Blog Hop





Welcome to the SG Blog Hop for September, if this is your first stop, you might like to start at the Scrapbook Generation blog and then hop through each link.


I couldn't choose just one layout but two to showcase.  The first page is a single page.  I purchased a sketch from SG online;  August 2013 Individual Sketch #1 for only 49 cents. You can use this sketch multiple time if you are into a single page, single photo or lots of banner strips.  This one page sketch designed by Allison Davis.

Second layout:  I also purchased a sketch online; August 2013 Four Pack #4 for $1.79, designed by Allison Davis. This double pages contain multiple photos; two 6 X 4, four 3 X 3, one 2 X 2.5 photo and one 2 X 2.5 journaling block.  For this page, I replaced the journaling block to an extra picture and added some journaling strips instead.

Statue of Liberty


My family and I went on a road trip to New York City a couple weeks ago.  The very next day,  we visited Statue of Liberty.  We took a ferry from Liberty Island, New Jersey to Statue of Liberty site.  We took 128 steps up to the mounment and the view of New York City was breathtaking.   I created this page based on the sketch designed by DT Jayne at Two Scrapbook Friends.
