Cypress Gardens


his is he second of my scrapbook layouts this year. I am hoping I can keep the momentum going. These pics were taken on our first visit to Florida, December 2001. Cypress Gardens was a lovely gentle theme park very unlike Disneyworld. It opened in the thirties and we were lucky enough to visit as it closed a few years ago and reopened as Legoland. The gardens are beautiful and we did visit Legoland as we had some free tickets one year and it was good to see they have retained the gardens.  I used a Fiskars circle cutter and added several diecuts from my stash.

We have been away to Potters for a fun weekend again so apologies if I haven't commented on your blogs. I have been doing well so far as I appreciate all your visits and am returning as many as I can. We need to keep blogland alive.

Happy New year.
A fabulous layout and beautiful photo's and I'm amazed how pristine those tickets are from 2001, you must have kept them in a safe place.
Trying to visit as many blog friends as I can this year, last year was not a good one and I'm determined to make this year different.

Great page and love the layout. Like you, I am trying to do some pages for my scrapbooks. I didn't do any last year and my son is keen on having the one I am doing at the moment. It's my family one on my Maltese Mom's side. I am having to put 4 or 5 photos on each page, as I have so many!
Hugs, Carol S.xx
