Did you ever receive a gift that was so thoughtful … so touching … so perfect … that it reduced you to tears? Yeah, that's pretty much what happened to me when I opened the package that contained this amazing digital scrapbook.
When Lauren & I were planning our NYC adventure, I found a couple of chipboard apple albums in the $1 bin at Michael's. I snatched them up, because I thought they would be a fun way to create a a mini-scrapbook to document our trip. Never in a million years did I imagine that humble chipboard album would morph into this gorgeous, memory-filled creation.
Lauren took our photos from the trip, worked her digi-magic, and threw in a few bits of bling and a vintage subway map. This photo (and experience) was one of my favorites. There was something very special about finally seeing this Icon in person.
She added a fabulous mix of quotes about NYC to each page.
The surprise police department parade was another highlight of the trip … as well as the joy of spying perfect shots like the reflection of the empire state building in this wall of windows.
I love how the different colors of flourishes tie everything together.
And this nighttime image from Top of the Rock was one of my favorites … I love the glow of Times Square from above.
Thanks again my friend for sharing this experience with me … and giving me a memento that keeps those memories fresh-at-hand.
