11 - Top of the World

A fun random childhood memory. My hidden journaling (on the 7 Gypsies tag tucked behind the photos) tells about how when I was a kid, we'd go to the school playground after hours and I'd sit on the top of those monkey bars singing the old Carpenters song, "I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation..." at the top of my lungs.

I used a Page Maps sketch as inspiration for my page:

Here are some closeups. I've got details about the page and materials I used (and a video of the Carpenter's song for you young'ns who don't know what it is) on my blog, if you're interested in reading about that: http://debbitscraps.blogspot.com/2012/03/top-of-world-csi-case-file-no-11.html

Thank you so much for looking at my page!
