Whew , Glad this is off my desk!

  This 2 page layout has really been difficult for me. I had certain parameters to work around and I just could not make it work. My husband recently went on an 8 day business trip to Switzerland.   Two of his best buds from work went with him. They had  ton of fun .All the pictures are pictures that my non photographer husband took with his iphone and sent me during the week. I wanted to incorporate as many as I could and the sketch at Lets Scrap Sketches helped me with that. Also I wanted to keep it masculine and the main embellishments had to be my very broken goose egg. In one of the photos is a market stand. Jeff knew that I would love to see the sidewalk market and did not realize that the picture had an Easter tree in it. so this one had to included. He bought me two handpainted Easter eggs for our Easter tree while there and the big goose egg did not make it home. I was determined to scrap the trip and have the embellies be parts of the goose egg.Jeff was heartbroken that it did not make it so I wanted to showcase it and preserve it the best I could. I am very relieved to call this one done and get to move on! I hope he likes it!
 Here is the sketch

Here is my take

I originally wanted to sprinkle around pieces of the goose egg but it was not pleasing me so I decided to make some round embellies using the pieces. I was very pleased with how they turned out. They got to Olten on Sunday morning and Jeff said that all the churches were ringing their bells. Kind of a dueling church bells. He said it was amazing. Here in the US we don't hear church bells much anymore. So churches had to be the focal point. Jeff loves the food so had to sprinkle that in too.
The journaling is hidden on one of the tags.
