On Top of the World

I'm combining two challenges today. First up is Challenge #172 from Scrap Whispers called 'You Choose'; we were asked to take three features from an inspiration layout from Christina and use them on our own pages. Her page was very different from the ones I make, but there were plenty of details to choose from. I picked machine stitching, date stamps and book paper.

I based my page on Sketch #56 from Sketch-n-Scrap, though I used four photos and more paper layers and moved the title and journalling.

The photos are from Ny Ă…lesund in Svalbard, the most northerly permanent settlement in the world. We visited there on a cruise of Norway and Svalbard last summer. I am doing an album for the holiday of course, but I'm also making a page for each port of call for my main 2013 album.
