Interesting story!! I love reading about things like this! I like the use of the four different paper blocks to symbolise this monument!! The cactus and the pompom banner adds a nice touch!!
I love your use of the template!! The way the photo is masked onto the map is fabulous! I love that you highlighted the four corners with such bright pretty papers and the cactus/title cluster is perfectly placed! Awesome page!!
Wow! I love how you blended the picture into the map and then used the patterened paper to make the four states pop off the page. I've nominated you for Baker's Best.
I drive within 20 miles of this every other year, but we have never stopped. Some day...
