Nærøyfjord

I've made four pages from our recent Norwegian cruise far, and I know that they will be the first four in the album. However I have no plans to work on the album chronologically; I'm more likely to jump from place to place as inspiration strikes and then go back and fill in the gaps.

One of the sketches that inspired me was this month's double page from Stick It Down, a good one for five photos.

We cruised down the Nærøyfjord and  back one evening, and had to turn the ship at the end of the fjord. There wasn't much space to do that and I took photos from both the front and the back of the ship as we rotated; even then I knew that I wanted to use a trio of photos from this manoeuvre in a column on a page, just as the sketch shows on the right hand side. Then I just had to choose two more from the dozens that I took in order to complete the left side. I also squeezed an extra smaller photo in to the right side, expanding the embellishment cluster to surround it, and moving the journalling on to the opposite page.
