Horsin' Around - Two Page Scrapbook Layout

 Here's another layout to share from our trip to Wyoming's beautiful Grand Tetons. We stayed inside the Teton Village. These horses lived on the corner as your turn into the village. We rode bikes past there a few times, and had to stop and talk to them. 

Of course, I wanted to bring one home with us💗!!  Do they even have a clue of their beautiful surroundings? They're living the best horse life possible! They can wallow in the mud, munch on the grass, or hang at the fence and mingle with the curious tourists for lots of "pets".

For this layout I used Kaiser Kraft's "Let's Go Collection" and ephemera. I'm not sure if the brown leather look paper was part of that set or something from my scrap stash. I designed the title in Design Space and also cut the camera, horse silhouette, and horseshoe. I went with Cricut journaling cut into strips. Pretty simple layout! The focus stays on the beautiful creatures! Wish I had a picture of myself with them, because I was much more enthralled than my hubby.

Thanks for stopping by for some travel and equine inspiration! Enjoy the rest of your week!

 

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "The Ride"

Here's another travel layout from our trip to Israel in 2017!!

 This layout is the second half of the last layout I shared from our jeep tour up into the Golan Heights area. The ride down was amazing.. from our group picnic, to the company, to the gorgeous views of the Sea of Galilee in the distance.

Our picnic was at a clearing in a safe spot with a watering hole where the soldiers come to cool off. We sat on benches and rugs and had a very tasty gourmet buffet. I was worried how I'd like the food there, but I liked almost everything that was served to us through our trip!

 As we wound our way back down, we stopped at several spots for pictures. When we got back to meet up with our bus, our driver purchased some lychee fruit from a local who was selling it. I'd never tried it before. They taste like a cross between a large juicy grape and a small kiwi. Total YUM, especially when super hot and thirsty. There was some controversy from the locals over the best way to get inside to the fruit 😃, but we picked our method and enjoyed every bite.

I cut the mountains and pine trees with my Cricut to resemble the hills and trees in the area. I used travel washi and a leftover strip of travel paper with a map. I used travel washi to cover some wood embellishments (arrow, circle, pennant). I also broke out the roll of "filmstrip" that I haven't used in years. I think it added a lot to this page. I try to plan ahead when printing pictures and order as many pics as possible in wallet size in order to fit a lot more pics on the page.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Enjoy the Journey"

Here's the second layout from last year's San Diego trip. These were our first pictures of the iconic Gaslamp Quarter sign, the convention center in the background, our hotel, and our first meal....The Spaghetti Factory. Yummy!

 The paper is again from the DCWV World Traveler stack. I love how Pink Paislee's "Indigo Blue" washi tape complimented it perfectly. Cricut's "Going Places" cartridge is the place to get your stick people! Why haven't I used these before??

 The title and the journaling tag were already on the paper, so I just went with it. That certainly completes the page more quickly.



Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great week!!

Double layout - Exploring

I'm so excited that we are finally getting some long overdue RAIN!!! Not sure how many of you are experiencing drought conditions, but everything is dry and scorched here. Thank you, Lord!!! It even smells like rain. =)

Today, I'm sharing another layout from our upstate New York trip last fall. I tore Authentique paper diagonally and placed it on solid khaki paper from The Paper Company to represent the mountains. The edges are inked along the tear with Tim Holtz distress ink (pumice) I love the distressed look of the Authentique paper!! Can't get enough.

The compass is from Graphically Speaking, along with the Scenic Route tag. I used Kraft paper for the background on both, as well as the tree trunks. All of the photos are matted on white and distressed.

Loving the picture that I took through the window into the side mirror, showing the great view behind us!! My husband's idea. =) The mountain diecut with the tree cutout is from the Going Places cartridge. The gingham print paper is Pebbles "Fresh Goods". It made a cute title along with a twine bow and button.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Have a great FRIDAY (yes!) and weekend.
