Not your Normal Scrapbook Layout


This is a scraplift of a layout I saw in Creating Keepsakes magazine (October 2011 issue, pg 32, if you want to see the original)
The layout that I was inspired by was a 2 page LO, but it was turned sideways so it was vertical. I really wanted to give it a try, and so I decided to give it a go using some pictures from the Smithsonian.

What do you think? Awesome, or too crazy? I'm thinking awesome. ;)
So, do you like to try new techniques when you scrapbook? Are you a traditional scrapper or digi scrapper?
