The Big One


Another Jen Wilson Designs assignment (geography)...had to include a panoramic-style photo (supposed to be of yourself, but I don't have any suitable unscrapped pics of me) in a favorite location, and a map or map symbols.

JWD: Academy elementary solids, Camped Out stripe, Cowabunga bracket
Nitwit Collections: titles, ribbon (one of my new favorite designers!)
Brandy Hackman: map overlay on the blue paper
green map paper: I think DH found the BWCA on the internet and downloaded it...he'll correct me if I'm wrong.
Weeds & Wildflowers compass
Journaling: 2008: The annual Borg cousins week in the BWCA seemed doomed from the start. About a week before the trip, Brian threw out his back at home and was unable to come at all, Paul hurt his ankle and was dealing with dizziness issues as well, and Dan’s work had a big computer update scheduled and it was determined they couldn’t possibly get along without him, which meant his trip was shortened. This despite his scheduling the trip 12 months prior. And Aunt Shirley was terminally ill and not expected to live more than a few more days. No one wanted to be out of contact with family back home.The Borgs, however, are resilient and masters of compromise. The trip turned out very well: Most of the people who were able to come stayed at a campground in Ely for a few days, spent one day out on Dennis’ boat (Jeff caught several huge Northern Pike!), one day in the BWCA on canoes, and one day in Duluth (pronounced Dah-lute). Jeff accidentally
forgot his camera, so all photos are compliments of Dan.

These assignments are all pretty thought-provoking :). I like that 'catch of the day' fish but I am loving how you shade two papers together!
