Cruising

 

It's time to once again join my dear friend Chris, our host this month at Art Journal Journey, with her Where in the World theme.  I'm working on a couple of journal pages that will take Bleubeard and me across the pond, but today, I thought we could actually stay in the states, where no passport is required.

Unfortunately, this post (and these pages) has been fraught with peril.  I had six sheets of cardstock on my table when I started by adding some spray mist to the first page.  However, it wouldn't spray.  I took the sprayer apart and when I did, I knocked the entire bottle over on my table.  I tried to wipe it up with the other cardstock pages, but I got a bit hit and miss.  What you see in the background is what you get.

I had to create four different pages for this spread because I couldn't get it all on one page.

We're cruising the mighty Mississippi today in a luxury paddle boat.  We'll be traveling from Memphis, Tennessee (TN) to Louisville, Kentucky (KY).   Below are the detail shots of the first page.

Let's start in Memphis, TN, where we board the paddle boat.  But first, we will explore the city. Below are detail shots of the second page.

Before we leave Memphis, we absolutely must visit Graceland. In reality, my favorite spot to visit in Memphis was Mud Island, but the travel magazines don't spotlight that "museum."  Detail shots are below.

The last page is all about where we stopped off in Louisville.  Detail shots are below.

I rotated the caption so you could read it without twisting your head.

Bleubeard and I hope you have enjoyed your time on the river and visiting both Memphis and Louisville. We are delighted you dropped by today.  We always appreciate your visit.  We look forward to seeing you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Where in the World.
