Keep this coupon

Using up a bunch of random scraps on my desk -



This page was inspired by:

* Scrap Backwards - Cybercrop Warm up challenge ~ Scraplift
I scraplifted Scrappy Kathy. I built my page around strips of paper scraps and a die cut coupon. Next I selected a photo, and last of all I added a flair button and a large enamel dot to add some circular elements like Kathy did.

A double page layout for my Cairns 2017 travel album.  Not too sure if I'm happy with it.  Each side on its own looks okay, but when I view them together as a double it looks a bit lopsided.  Ah, well... done now and I'm not fussing around with it any more!

Tabulam Bridge

Still working through 2014 photos... and I came across these ones that I took at Tabulam Bridge during one of our winter road trips. The bridge has since been demolished and replaced.
