Roadside Fun

 

Yes we do look for the quirky stops on our road trip, and this tree of old shoes out in the middle of nowhere soon after we crossed into California is one of those stops.

I made this layout for "LASTING MEMORIES"  Challenge #821.

Let's Go

 

Just finished my layout for the October Scrappy Friends Challenges.   First I used the sketch at    "ROCHELLE SPEARS SCRAPBOOKING"

Then I used the Tic-Tac-Toe Board at "SCRAP WITH STACY"   I used the middle row across  2 Photos, Circle and Arrow.

Alaska Cruise

 

Super simple layout to make but I love how it turned out    We went on our 2nd Alaskan cruise the end of June.   We love cruising  but Alaska is a favorite destination.   I would love to go again but do a combo land and cruise trip and see more of this beautiful state.   When I saw the latest challenge at "LASTING MEMORIES"  I knew where my/our favorite place was so I made this layout.    I had bought some special themed Alaska scrapbook paper and this was one I hadn't used yet.    I didn't want to just add a regular 4x6 photo to it.   I looked through the photos we had taken on board ship and this one that was just against a white background was just what i needed.  I printed it out 8x10 size and then fussy cut around just us and that is all I added to the layout, no journaling and no embellishments, just let the picture and background paper tell the story.

LM #813 - Favorite Place: We all have a place that makes us smile just thinking about it, and yes, being at home counts. Show off your favorite place in this challenge.
