Arghh. I keep meaning to do some pages with my photos from DragonCon, a Sci-Fi/Fantasy convention I go to every year. I work on tech staff, and I also participate in the skits we do for the video presentation. So, the photos I have are mostly of tech staff people hanging out "behind the scenes" and a few of when we were filming an X-Men/James Bond parody.
So, ok, I have pictures of kind of scary looking, very tired, grungy, drunk guys and gals. I've got pics of us making food and doing silly things with knives, pics of people sleeping under tables, pics of this one guy's leg that we wrote inappropriate things on in sharpie marker while he was sleeping, etc.
And, I have pictures of me and my sister dressed as Bond girls while tying a dude to a wheelchair, and other pics of us waiting until our scene was shot.
I was going to do an 8x8 book, so I could print my own patterned papers, but I think I'd rather do 12x12 so I have more room for photo groupings and journalling. But, there aren't really any scrapbook papers and embellishments that actually, you know, go with what I'm doing. Are there? Not at my local stores, anyway. I could still do my own patterned paper and use it like I used on my cat layout:
