Mardi Gras Memories (inspired by musicmom)

I love Anna's new APP Portiere that was flavored with the magic of New Orleans. It brought back memories of a crazy Spring break during my college days (many moons ago). After looking at Mardi Gras fotos, I knew I wanted to channel musicmom's style. She amazes me because she jam-packs a design with photos and artsy elements perfectly blended and balanced to create a simply awesome layout. Oh, and she always adds journaling to explain and document the event or experience. Always with magnificent results. (Although I have a penchant for much brighter colors than Laura does. Hahaha)

Used papers, transfers and elements from APP Poritere. Also added glitter and magic sprinkles! Photos from pixabay.com

Journaling if you're interested:My Mardi Gras memories are from my college days during Spring break. It was a loooooong road trip. And we almost got arrested in Georgia. We had to pool our funds to pay a speeding ticket. But once we arrived, I fell in love with this magical city. The parades, the costumes, the music and the general craziness along with exotic tropical cocktails like hurricanes made this my most favorite Spring break ever.
Thanks for the shoutout, zlemon! Love the page and the journaling both. Part of me wanted your driving-ticket thing to go to the next level...just to get some "inside" photos...but then THAT would have taken away from the bright colors, right? (I'm picturing gray-and-white striped suits with cute little matching caps.) LOL! Anyway, loving the energy here, and kicking myself that I didn't think of including glitter on the layouts I did for my daughter's Mardi Gras adventure. Now THAT is a perfect touch!
 
Sounds like a fun trip inspite of the ticket--I am sure you all had loads of laughs after the payment was made--often that is the part of the trip that remains so clear in our memories. Love your colorful page--love New Orleans-went there on our honeymoon.
 
Great color for a Mardi Gras page, I so enjoyed reading the story of this one, great page!!
 
What a great, beautiful, bright colors, so much to see on this gorgeous colorful page,
I love the journaling and mask, a gorgeous page!!
 
Christy, I just love how you study and appreciate the art of other members...you nailed Laura's rich approach to design and chose the perfect subject matter and photos to say 'celebrate'!!!
 
a most wonderful lift! love the bright colors and brighter story-telling along with the splashes of glitter.
 
Oh, you wild thing! Love your story and the vibrant colors! Reminds me of my daughter's "Thelma and Louise" cross country trip with her roommate and their encounter with the law. Wonderful page!
