World Tour

Inspiration: Lasting Memory Layout challenge #487 (various patterned papers)

I went back to older pictures for this one, from 2011. I had some fun travel-themed papers from Carta Bella that went well with them and I decided to do two pocket protector pages of all 6" x 4" pictures to get every last picture I had of this party scrapbooked. It was a fun one - it was an office Christmas party, back when I was part of the organization committee. It was out second year and we picked World Tour. It was a big success - a vast majority of guests came costumed and a lot of them put a great deal of efforts into those costumes as well. I had a white gown with a Grecian feel to it but because another girl from the committee was already doing to Greek goddess look, I decided to style mine as Roman instead. I picked some fabric at the store to do a side cape - I initially wanted red velvet but I couldn't find what I was looking for, so I ended up using this sheer sparkly fabric (that didn't need sewing - bonus!) and pined it in place on my shoulder using a pretty pin recycled from a former costume. I found some inexpensive costume jewelry at a clothes stores (in the clearance section, too!), but my favorite part was the gold laurel headpiece I made. I wrapped a cheap headband from the dollar store with black satin ribbon, and then I used my glue gun to add gold-glittered foliage also found at the dollar store on it, and I simply wore the headband sitting on the back of my head. I wish I had a picture showing it off better but it really completed the look and I got many compliments on it at the party. Looking back at those pictures bring back great memories of many years working with great people.
