Canada Cruise 2010: Carnival Glory

This spread showcases our cruise ship – the Carnival Glory.  I chose Carnival cruise lines for two reasons – the first was that they were the cheapest and because this was our first cruise I didn’t want to go to crazy.  The second was that I discovered that it is one of the best cruise lines for families and kids.  In fact – there were more children passengers than adult passengers on this cruise!  That might scare some people away – but it was perfect for my son who made several friends.  I was able to escape to the adults only parts of the ship and rest.

I had a lot of fun with this page.  The right hand side has a large photograph of the ship that I got as part of the Behind the Scenes Tour (but more about that on another page).  Notice that it came with a black border.  In order to tie the elements on the left hand page into this design you will notice that I bordered my own picture of the Glory in black, as well as our key cards.  Notice that I wasn’t afraid to cut off the top corner of my own picture to help everything fit onto the page.

I also took opportunity on this page to put in a side view of the ship and marked where our cabin was.  These little fold-able maps were what kept me from getting lost on the ship!  But it also serves as a great piece of ephemera that I personalized for this page.  I also used some of the notepaper in our cabin to serve as my journaling paper.

Ephemera Tip: While on a cruise don’t be afraid to collect all kinds of free souvenirs that will come in handy when you create your scrapbook – you will see many over the next few weeks as we discover our Canada Cruise.
