Atlantic City

Hi you all, today I have a layout from Day 5 of LOAD 215. That day it was a Thursday and the prompts are based on color: this one is black/red/white. So I went looking through the box of Mom's  old pictures to see what I could do with a B&W photo, but none were really clicking with me. Then I got into the bottom of the box where the post cards and other memorabilia was at (now I know exactly where I get this from :) and found this B&W photo of Atlantic City boardwalk and knew I had this odd only one pic of me on the boardwalk:
With Caesar! from Caesar's Palace the gentlemen was kind enough to let us take his picture before we went in to the casino. What a perfect photo with him dressed red, right? So I pulled My Mind's Eye Lost and Found paper pad for the papers. I used the monthly sketch at Scrappin & Chattin for a quick layout.
 I used some die cuts from that jellibean pack and the hi is what I cut out last month with my cameo. So I used the postcard as a picture .
 The picture of me (era mid 1980s) and Caesar with more arrows ans washi tape too. I inked up the wooden veneer arrow to match the color scheme
 Added a small journaling block form last month's kit
The title came from the alphas in this month's kit :) The large alpha just looks like a lit up sign :)
Thanks for stopping by today, I'm still going strong with LOAD and I haven't missed a day yet. So will try to post more layouts when I can.... You all have a fantastic day :)

  6. Love the way the red draws you in and the alphabets ground it. The "Atlantic" letters are perfect -- I agree they look like a lit up sign. Great page!
