Jazz Fest Memory

Lately, I've been pulling out photos to scrap that are less than perfect. You know the ones. With a memory or story behind them, you print them, but then you are less inspired to scrap them. I have an envelope of these, some from 8 years back. The photo I took this particular day at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival was a blurry one, but there was a story there, a story that I had written down in my blog...way back in 2007. I was able to go back into my blog archives, find what I'd written, edit it for my page, and print it out. What could be easier!?

And what could go better with this picture than the papers from Echo Park's This & That Charming collection? They were perfect. They even had a paper with various tickets and receipts, one of which was a "raincheck"...so appropriate for my story.


The Jazz Fest 2012 schedule has come out, and I'm already trying to decide which day to go. Should I see the Eagles, the Beach Boys, the Foo Fighters, the Neville Brothers or Glen Hansard? Most of course are on different days or conflicting times! It figures.

Nice layout you did with your not so perfect photo! Good for you for documenting the memories no matter how perfect the photo.

Photo looks great to me and I love the layout. Good idea to use your past blog to get the journaling details.

Ahhh! Adam! I love the Crows. Been a fan since they were the Himalayans. I've seen them every time they come around to CA which isn't very often.

Another great layout and this paper line is just begging to be used in my craft cave.

Off to listen to some Crows music......
