The Mark Twain

My friend, Nancy, and I went to Disneyland while at CHA in 07 and 08, so we have ALOT of photos. For inspiration I asked her to pick a few that we will both scrap. The first one is this photo of The Mark Twain. I used Echo Park's "For the Record" collection and my sketch #57 from SketchSavvy. Keeping it rather simple allows this oversized photo to be the focus. And if you would like a step back in time aboard the Mark Twain...scroll down to this great youtube that I found.























A bit of nostalgia. Here is a segment from "Disneyland After Dark" that aired on Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color on April 15th 1962. The legendary Louis Armstrong performs on the Mark Twain Riverboat at Disneyland. "Lazy River" and "Muskrat Ramble" are performed and you must see Monette Moore joining Louis for a rousing edition of "Bourbon Street Parade." Can you imagine being on board and just look how people dressed for an evening at Disneyland in 1962. You have to love it.
