After a run of pocket pages, I'm returning to 12x12 today. This page will slot in after my Oslo sub-title page and before the four pocket pages which document the city centre buildings.
We sailed past Oscarsborg Fortress in Oslofjord on our way into Oslo; it gets the 12x12 treatment due to chronology rather than being a special place we visited. I printed a couple of 4x6 photos and scraplifted my own past page (Worbarrow Bay).
I'm making this album mostly with papers from Pinkfresh Studio's Tourist Mode collection which I have found to be predominantly shades of blue and yellow so far. However there are a few multi-coloured patterned papers in the collection and I've used two here. Hopefully the coral and orange won't look too peculiar now when they appear on other pages later on.
I included a large circle in the design too, just to shake things up a bit; that gives me a shape to repeat in the album and breaks up the monotony of rectangles.
There's a little bit of journalling on the page background, but I also turned the top photo into a pocket to hold more information about the history of the fort, including it sinking a German heavy cruiser in 1940, thereby delaying the invasion of Norway.
