Orlando vacation album, part 2

a.k.a. the dinosaur edition. :) I like how all these turned out, but man did they take forever, about an hour each. Normally I would have twice as many pages to show for that amount of time, but the Cricut (actually the mats) were slowing me down.
This one wasn't so bad, just a matter of adapting the Allison Davis sketch down to my page size. The letter stickers are Thickers, everything else is Basic Grey.
So, I went to start cutting the dinosaur, and discovered that 1) it is harder for me to use a 12x12 mat size with the gypsy and figure out where everything is and 2)my brand new out of the package mat...didn't have enough sticky to keep any paper adhered to it, so I had to tape the paper onto the mat, and if I didn't use enough tape I had to redo the cut again. Argh. I adapted an Allison Davis sketch, but I kind of wish I had more pics to extend the photo block to the left edge, but we really didn't take many pics in the Discovery Center, mostly because we were only in there about 20 minutes...yep, an hour on a layout for an activity that was only 20 minutes. I would be upset about that but, all the rides in amusement parks are short, so that's going to happen to me a lot with this album. Provo Craft (light textured tan) and Basic Grey (everything else) paper and stickers, OA label sticker and Dinosaur Tracks circut cartridge.
This one went a little faster, mostly because I used a dinosaur sticker instead of cutting one out. I used the hanging sign option for the font to mimic the banner in the movie, and I just liked the way it looked. Everything by Basic Grey, except "CAMP" (Dinosaur Tracks cricut cartridge) and OA label stickers.
