I have another page from our day in Olden here, where I am looking both ways at a waterfall, with photos taken from viewpoints above and below it.
I've scraplifted another of Shimelle's pages; this time it comes from her Design Decisions class, using a prompt that I've followed before for our holiday in Austria three years ago (Wolfgangsee Schifffahrt).
Most of my embellishment is in that block of punched squares of different papers, and those squares repeat from other pages in this album too.
Looking at the page now on my screen, I think it may need a strip of red above the teal paper, so I'll think about that and may add one before I finish the album.

I posted a page recently about my daughter and her team-mates graduating from NCS (National Citizen Service) and this page comes a couple of months earlier in the album, as she started the experience with a residential trip to Norfolk where they were originally put together.
She came home from this trip and told me she had photos for me to scrapbook, having asked her friend to take some of her on the abseiling wall and taking the 'leap of faith'. I picked two pairs of photos, printed them at 4x6 and ran them across a double page; alumni of Shimelle's Design Decisions class may recognise the design of the page from a double in her final set of videos.

I do love a German compound word, and I'll use a few of them for my page titles for our Austrian holiday. Schifffahrt means something like ship-ride and is the ferry service on Wolfgangsee (or Lake Wolfgang). My page has photos of two of those ships - Kaiser Franz Josef I is a paddle steamer built in 1873, the first ferry on the lake and still in use during the summer months, and Österreich, a more modern ship that we actually travelled on. We spent a day using the ferries to visit the other villages around the lake.
One of the prompts in Shimelle's Design Decisions class was about using grids, but her page wasn't what I expected. I think of grids meaning all the elements on the page being the same size and shape, but Shimelle put a grid of embellishments and journalling alongside standard 4x6 photos. My page is similar, but I didn't have room to journal on my grid so I moved that to the top of the page.

This is another Austrian page, with a family photo taken on board the lake ferry. I worked from one of the prompts in Shimelle's Design Decisions class, but used a larger photo instead of a small one and a journalling block.

Shimelle recently started a new class called Design Decisions and each lesson includes a sketch. I made this page from the first one, which actually had three small photos, but next up on my 'to scrap' pile was a single photo from Salzburg last summer so I made it work for that.
It's the view over Salzburg from the terrace at Fortress Hohensalzburg, which lies on the hill above the city.
