Wonderland
I absolutely adore theme parks. Roller coasters, etc. Which is why I was sooooo happy that Dylan said yes when I asked him if we can go to Toronto/Canada’s Wonderland for a midweek trip (he hates theme parks). We decided to make a romantic getaway of it, booked a BnB, got reservations at a nice restaurant, took the train up…
And making this layout was ALMOST as much fun as the trip… because I has JUST gotten my new PicScan mat and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.
TIP- fast passes are sooo worth it.
I took the theme park map, cut it to size and placed it on the PicScan mat. I took a photo with my iPhone and uploaded it to Studio. I then placed hearts around places on the map- our favorite rides, and around edges and cool patterns in the map. It then cut out the hearts exactly where I wanted them.
I was sooo happy with the result!
For the title, I found a .png of the Wonderland logo and used the trace feature in Studio to make the title and offset backing. I used the loopy cut file to represent roller coasters and used glitter glue to make it stand out from the rest of the blue cardstock.
TIP- use your embossing heat gun to make glitter glue dry faster.
I was lucky with the BnB that they had such cute business cards. That whole trip was such fun, I enjoyed every minute of it.
TIP- take a photocopy of your receipts and cut them out instead of using the actual receipt which can fade over time. Or scan and print, that way you can make it bigger or smaller to fit your layout, and increase contrast in hard to read/already faded ones.
I really wish I had thought of that earlier, as I have a page or two in my book that have almost white rectangles now because receipt paper is so sensitive.
