Central Park

As we walked through Central Park, we came across this row of checker boards and benches. I could just imagine people sitting here, whiling away the hours with their friends playing chess or checkers. It was a shady spot and was so peaceful. No one was there that day except for us, so we staged a couple of photos to remember it by. Strolling through the park along the wide walkways lined with ancient trees was calming. It seemed so far from the hustle and bustle of the city mere blocks away. On our way out of the park, we saw this long line of yellow cabs. If that doesn't say 'New York,' I don't know what does!


This is the fifth layout I have made from my June Counterfeit Kit. I am nearly down to scraps by now. I have loved this kit and have been so inspired by it. I added the laminate sun, die cut paper and journaling cards to my kit for this layout. See, I told you it was getting down to bare bones, LOL! I recently purchased some Martha Stewart punches, and used one on this layout.

Thanks for looking and leaving a comment!

Love the colors in this one. My kit is pretty much dusted, after I made the shaped cards today. So happy to be using up my stash.

Haven't been to NYC, but definitely think of the cabs and the chess tables look fun. Congrats on using your kit this month. I'm just getting into mine now, but I hope to make more yet this month. :) Thanks for sharing your layout.

It's great that you used all of your kit! Are your your trip layouts going into one big trip album?

Love your NYC layouts! I'm also working on an NY album. Your banner title is great and so is your sun shape.
