Apples - Two page scrapbook layout

 We love the tradition of picking apples together. Lately, it's just been hard to get our crew together for various reason. Of course, I love to document the family fun!

This apple picking party was a from a few years back. Honestly, we haven't all been able to do it again since then. Life can be complicated and hard sometimes.

I love the vintage, distressed paper! Maybe because I'm vintage, and also distressed. 😜 As much as I love working with a pack of matching designer paper, I feel accomplished when I can go through my stash and find coordinating scraps that will work together in a layout. That's what I did here. I'm pretty happy with the results.

Apparently, I was having so much fun putting the layout together that I completely forgot to add the date. Ugh! I believe it was Fall of 2020.

I cut the title with my Cricut and added checkered red washi tape vertically to give it some pop. The red and white baker's twine adds texture. I created this way before I started doing most of my journaling with my Cricut, so you'll all have to suffer through my handwriting. 

Hope you are enjoying this season. What's not to love, except today it is a little rainy and dreary! Time to break out all the pumpkin and apple recipes, a pot of chili, and sit by the fire. 

Let the Sun Shine - One Page Florida Scrapbook Layout

 One page layouts are unusual for me, but I did several from our short time in Florida for a Memorial Service for my Aunt and Uncle in 2021. These photos highlight our view and hotel surroundings.

It's a great hotel, and I hope we will go back again some day. Maybe we'll actually be able to enjoy the pool. It was a little brisk for that this time around. So beautiful to look at, though. We enjoyed watching the pelicans and the ducks hanging out around the little marina. 

The paper is from an older stack by Crate Paper called "the Pier". It has a bit of a distressed, vintage vibe along with Echo Park's "Good Day" yellow polka dot. The green chevron washi from Queen & Co made a nice border, slightly overlapping the photos. I cut a few hearts with my Cricut and folded them in half for a little more texture and definition, and tucked the journaling card at an angle under one of the photos.

Thanks for stopping by! I think I have two more one pagers to share with you soon from our whirlwind trip to Florida.
