This is what the original pages looked like.
It is a two page layout and I thought he could use it for some of the many pictures he has taken on his trips.
That was before I came across a few of his boarding passes from around the world. So I took the sides of the layouts apart where the map paper is showing, cut the bottom part and attached my pocket, then put it back together and added a piece of white cardstock to the back to cover up my "seams".
For the pocket I used a piece of packaging that the rub ons, embellishments, or stickers come in (yes I keep them and have it in a file folder), cut the top down to the size I needed and covered it all up. I then added the boarding passes to each side.
I kept the boarding passes in the pocket while I put it all back together to allow for the bulk. I added a few of the pictures from the Maine Troop Greeters as this period covers from 2008 to 2012
Normally I would have just given him the blank pages and did another one with this boarding passes and pictures but I do not have any of that paper. It a good - I used it up and sent it on it's way and bad thing - I decided I wanted to do something different.
Thanks for stopping by.

A clever bit of surgery :-D
Lovely DLO, I'm sure he'll be pleased.
You did a fantastic job including them after the layout was done :)
I love the idea of doing the blank pages every month, and the map background looks brilliant. Also an excellent example of reconstructive surgery on a scrap page! I think one of the best things about scrapping is that it gives you a way to keep all the memorabilia like this. :o)
Great pages, I've never done a layout without a photo in mind - not sure if I could tbh!
Isn't it fun to fiddle with stuff we've already worked on. I like the idea of pre-making pages, and you've shown us how we need not be afraid to tweak them later. Well scrapped!
Great to get a foundation set and then alter it to suit your needs. Nicely done.
