Hohenschwangau castle

Hi everyone I got a chance to do some scrapbooking this morning and I decided to continue on with some Europe pages from last December I realised there is still more to do so I am looking forward to finishing my album. This page is on Hohenschwangau castle in Fussen, Germany. Greg and I spent a wonderful couple of days in this area last year and they have 2 beautiful castles. We managed to see this one lit up at night and then in daylight the next day, I just love these pictures, I only wish I had one of Greg and I but I do have one of our favourite bear and I Chockie bear - he's such a well travelled bear!

I had a really nice piece of glittery wintery paper I got from Michaels a while back so I used this and then layered on two strips. The top strip in navy blue has a border which I punched with my Martha Stewart border punch. I used my Holiday Frames and Tags cartridge to cut out the small banner at the top and also the title. I added a small clip for decoration. I used the Cricut basic shapes in the craft room to weld together the trees in dark green and I went along the edges with both white and silver gel pen to look like snow. I added some snowflake stickers and then pleated some ribbon and added that to the photos. I added some information about the castle as well.
