Pages from Tenerife

Today I'm sharing the pages from the last port of our Canary Islands cruise from 2021. That was Santa Cruz on Tenerife. I'd already made the sub-title page; they mostly follow the same design in this album, with a 5x7 photo of the town matted on a 6x8 paper and layered over four vertical strips:

(The numbers are my page count for the year.)

70 & 71. Mount Teide, Ucanca Plain & The Roques of Garcia

A long title, but I put it in three fonts on three parts of this double page. I pulled in two new 12x12 sheets to create a half-and-half background; neither appears elsewhere but I have plenty of pink and a blue woodgrain elsewhere and all the other papers are repeats. The photos are all from a coach trip that we took to see Mount Teide, the highest point on the island (and in Spain as a whole).

72. Plaza de España

This is the main square in Santa Cruz, with a large pond and a memorial to the dead of the Spanish Civil War. I chose one of my last few remaining patterned paper backgrounds and gave each photo its own offcut of paper to sit on, while tucking in a few more scraps around the edges.

73. Iglesia.../Ermita.../Ermita...

We saw three churches in our brief look round the town, but didn't go inside any of them. I was originally only going to scrap the largest, but I only had one decent photo of it and the other two churches were quite cute so I've included all three on separate panels, a half-page and two quarters. I titled each part rather than the whole page.

74. El Auditorio de Tenerife

I'd started this page when I was last working on this album, and was clearly feeling the lack of remaining background papers even then, as this one is white cardstock that has been sprayed and stencilled and is badly warped, but I'm hoping it will flatten out in the album. I'm sure it was based on a sketch or scraplift but I don't recall whose. 

75. Castillo de San Juan Bautista

This page was loosely based on Shimelle's YouTube live video from 19 May, with a paper strip down the right side and stencilling on the background. The Fortress of St John the Baptist is a 17th century fort, built to protect the harbour. I printed two photos, with the second one showing how it is now overshadowed by the new Auditorio above.

76. La Recova

La Recova is the alternative name for the Market of Our Lady of Africa, and much shorter for a title. I arranged my photos on one of my largest scraps, then layered it over a couple more and tucked in a branding strip on the left. The right looked a little sparse so I punched a line of circles and tucked them in with a few puffy dots. This is something I did for a page from La Palma, and now it repeats later in the album. 

So that's all the pages from the last port done, and I've made all the onboard pages too, so just the return to Southampton and my front cover to go now.
