This is another page I did for the MDS Monday challenge this week. I had a hard time deciding between the two so I think I will submit them both!
When we visited Ireland a few years ago, we went to the Aran Islands on the west coast. We took the ferry to the largest island, Inishmore, which is only 9 miles of land but the island has such a weather beaten charm to it that it captured my heart. The tiny island consists of a maze of stone fences. There are only about 1,200 people on all three of the islands. What fascinated me the most was listening to them speak. Most of them speak Irish Gaelic and it is impossible to understand! There is a ferry system to get you to and from the mainland but it is passenger only. This view from a bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean shows remnants of crosses and chapels dating from the 8th to the 11th centuries.
The elements I used for this page are:
Background Paper - DSP Distressed Crushed Curty
Embellishments - Burlap Ribbon recolored, Top Notch Woodcuts
Stamps - Natural Composition Overlay #9
Punches: 1.25 Square punch filled w/DSP Etcetera #6, Smitten Alphabet Punches
Photo Box filled w/Amped Up Ampersands #2 DSP
