A Scrapbook Challenge and I need your help!

AND

It has been forever since I have done a GIVEAWAY!!! I can't even remember the last time I did one come to think of it...here anyway! So, this is what I have for you...I found this paper that I loved from the stash that my friend Rachael's sisters brought for us. I really liked the designs that I found in the 8 1/2 x 11 this direction and I have never scrapbooked this direction before, always the other way. Hopefully I am making sense. So, help me out...how should I embellish these pages? I have one picture, a newspaper clipping that I framed the best I could based on how it was cut from the newspaper, which really stumped me. It is of my grandparents from many years ago. I would really appreciate your suggestions! So, please help me make this something beautiful!! I really appreciate it...

It would be fun to have some word phrases to break up the images and add some contrast. Something like "You're my favorite adventure" comes to mind for the top layout with the newspaper anniversary clipping. Perhaps "On this roller coaster called life I'm glad I had you sitting next to me" But that's really long lol Maybe some lacy boarder punches around the edges to make the pictures look a bit more "framed" and it would help them stand out too.

Rita, in the pics it looks like the paper backing the photos is dark. I suggest using a color from the roller coaster paper, or maybe gray. Another suggestion, you could re-clip the newspaper clipping to even up the picture---cut off the writing underneath and duplicate it in your own handwriting. Pennants and/or balloons made from the colors in the roller coaster paper would be cute... you could even place them over the ones on the paper to give them dimension. Also, any journaling that you do could be done in the "waves" of the roller coaster track. That would add some more "movement" to the page.
