Awesome Ride Amazing View

Good Morning and welcome to a new month of challenges over at Lasting Memories. The theme for April is TRAVEL and this week's challenge is Mystic Mountains. We had taken a ride on the Susquehanna River (West Branch) by way of the Hiawatha Paddlewheel Riverboat. With that ride you get a narrative story of the Susquehanna Boom that was made for the way of getting timber down river. Lycoming County is part of the Allegheny Mountain chain and the views of the mountains from the ride is just beautiful. I'm blessed to live in a valley city that is surrounded by the mountains so I see them every day through the changing of the seasons. Well the ride talks of the Lumber Era of the river and that Era made Williamsport the Lumber Capital of the world in the 19th century.

The layout of that ride that we took. Tammy and the kids were up for a visit and this was one of the planned activities, so glad I did plan this it was wonderful way to learn of our local history and the ride was fun and very relaxing. I used the 3-15-15 over at Let's Scrap for my layout:

I stayed pretty close to the sketch, but my pictures were going the other way I changed it up just a bit. I also wanted to add the picture of the boys having a bit of fun while we were waiting to board the boat:

 The left side of the layout is a picture of the Riverboat, picture of the boys having fun while we were waiting to board. Picture of the boys on the boat, and the first picture taken when the ride had started up. Fun picture of Dave, Tammy, Britney and Brandon during the ride, funny that the guys are looking to see the boat operating in the water and girls are looking at the views.

The right side of the layout is a picture of all of us: Britney, Bradley, Brandon, me. Tammy and Dave. Nice that someone comes around and takes a picture of the families together on the boat. The other 2 pictures of the amazing views of the mountains.
I used my current counterfeit kit for the layout. I used some of the paper forom the CTMH Skylark kit and 2 of the leftovers from other projects (love to use scraps on layouts :) I used washi tape and the cut off pieces from the 12 X 12 sheets for the borders on the layout.

The title work was done with a variety of Alphas from my kit and from a Bo Bunny:Block Party sticker sheet (the red arrows and that corner piece that was cut from the arrows were from the sticker sheet too). The banner was made from SU little banner punch sewn with the sewing machine and added rhinestones to it.

Added more sewing to the other upper corner of the left hand side of the layout. More black washi tape for the border that was in the sketch.

I was smart enough to ask to keep my ticket so I had atleast one for a layout planning ahead. The bingo card I used for thee journaling spot and added some paper from a creative memories pack I have for the writing. .
