These LOs are the first, in a series, of a family trip to Chicago we took back in 2007. You may click on any of the photo images for a larger view. For the first page I used a swinging shutter page protector from Memory Book. The design for the front page was inspired by Lauren Bergold's New York travel book.
I absolutely luv the embellishment she made so I knew I was going to make one for this trip. I started by using a Chicago city map for the background of the embellishment. For the cityscape, I drew and hand cut the buildings using another cityscape embellishment as my template. The ferris wheel came from the Summer Vacation Cricut cartridges. The Chicago marquee sign is from EK. I outlined the letters with silver Stickles for a more authentic look.
The page in the middle I believe was inspired by a LO I saw on CK. I used a mask and some glitter mist from Tattered Angels to embellish the background.
For the title on the page I used another city scape and a pizza embellishment from EK.
This is a photo of I took at the Navy Pier. I do not own a 12x12 printer so I printed an 8x10 copy and cropped it to fit the page protector. I then embellished the bottom of the page to fill out the page protector.

This photo was taken at the Lincoln Park Zoo. Luv that city scape in the background. The boat ride around the lake was fun although a little scary because my 4 year old would not stay still inside the boat.
Hope you enjoyed the pages. Now to finish the printer's tray.
As always, thanks for stopping by . . . Yoli
