    I've already created a page about my adorable NJ town, so this time, I decided to write about NJ. I've only lived here four years, so I haven't been everywhere, but the photos are all mine.
    The journaling has 150ish words. The five (six) travel items: NJ shape, compass, ticket, map flair, explore flair, and geo locator.

    This was difficult for me to decide on. I was thinking state parks where I want to visit, then changed to the best aquariums that Florida has.... and on and on, lol. Instead, I decided on all the attributes that I LOVE about Florida. It ended up looking like a tourist attraction highlights, ROFL.
    I went statewide as I live in a very, very small community - not even on the map, LOL. And, the county only has one attraction other than the only mountain in the area... aka landfill, ROFL.

    Thank you for the challenge!!

    Items on the topic: maps - paper and stamp, ticket, arrows (2 types), ship, rose of winds.
    Journaling:
    I live in Zaporozhye. It is a big city in the south-east of my country Ukraine. The uniqueness of my city is that within the city limits there is an island called Khortitsa. It is the largest island on the Dnieper River: the length of the island is 12,5 km, and the width is 2,5 km on average.
    Khortitsa is a national historical and cultural reserve. In 2007 Khortitsa was named one of the "Seven Wonders of Ukraine".
    What is the uniqueness of our Khortitsa?
    1/ On the island grow unique steppe grasses and wildflowers. Many of these plants are listed in the Red Book of Ukraine and they grow only on Khortitsa.
    2/ In the forested part in the south of the island there are over 30 species of animals, 120 species of birds, ten species of reptiles and amphibians.
    3/ Khortitsa is called the cradle of the Cossacks. On the island and its surrounding lands in the 16-18th centuries there was a Zaporizhian Sich (as the Cossacks called the community). They were warriors and lived independently from any other countries.
    4/ Khortitsa has a special energy. Therefore it is a favorite vacation spot of the locals.
    If any of you, friends, come to Ukraine, be sure to visit the island of Khortitsa. I invite you to visit and I am sure you will be pleased!

    This was supposed to be easy, then it got more intricate than I was planning, and then I forgot about the 100 words requirement.... But here it is, and I love it as much as I love Ottawa
    I used: 2 maps of provinces, a compass and 2 compass roses, a map filled tag, a globe and 2 flairs with globes on it, and 7 arrows (2 of which I just learned through this thread are actually geotags...).
    Journaling reads:
    I LOVE Ottawa! In a life where I am from nowhere, I choose Ottawa! It is the perfect size and level of excitement and activity: not too big and busy, but not too small and boring!
    It has great restaurants, a wide variety of fun events popping up throughout the year, and many cultural activities to choose from, and yet it feels quiet and comfortable.
    And for me, above all, it always looks and feels pleasant and beautiful with the dancing willows, the breathtaking late summer sunsets, the fall colours of the fiery maples and other trees and all the cute critters and pretty birds, especially the cardinals!

    Journaling reads (104 words): When we first thought about moving to Arizona, the desert seemed a little unsettling to me -- so much open land with no shade and no water. After living here for 20 years and taking countless desert hikes, I know that the desert is one of the best things about living in Scottsdale. I love the changing light on the mountains throughout the day, the beautiful colors as the desert blooms into life in the Spring and the stately Saguaro cactuses that are home to so many desert birds. And nothing beats the majesty of a desert monsoon storm like the one in this photo.

    Location items are 1) arrows, 2) word map, 3) geotag, 4) Let's go WA, 5) scenic area sticker, 6) Mountain sticker, 7) adventure awares WA

    @jk703 If I do a double layout, can each side have 50(ish) wordcount to equal 100 (ish)? Or do I need 100 on each? Does that make sense... lol

    I'm going to stick with the 100 words per 12x12. This stems from having it all one one page - the words and the location based items rather than spread out. Gotta fit it all!
