Adventure - Two page Travel Scrapbook Layout

Here's another layout from our Grant Tetons trip in Wyoming (2020). Every day was such a beautiful adventure for us!

 There is so much wildlife to see in their natural habitat! And the landscape itself is something to behold.
Simple clouds and sun were an easy add to the page. Actually, the sun all the way behind the clouds would have been more accurate for this particular day. 😕

The stamps are the Close to My Heart "Aurora" set. Instructions are given to cut the paper in the right size to frame the stamp. Love this!  I used the CTMH Sapphire ink pad, and also cut a slightly larger mat. The Sapphire ink pad must have been nice and juicy and it came our really bright. I used the square punch (Creative Memories) to cut around the antler stamp. I journaled with my Cricut in Design Space and placed a bracket shape around it, attached and cut/wrote all at the same time, and placed a larger mat to frame the journaling.
The paper is Heidi Swapp "Wolf Pack". The photo corner punch (StampinUp!)  is what actually makes the page for me. It's funny how one little element can be a game-changer.

I really love the plaid with the birch bark paper. The navy mountains were also cut in Design Space to sit on top of the plaid and create a place for my title.
I really like this layout, and LOVE the green and blue together, especially the plaid. I certainly could have layered additional embellishments around the pics, stamps and journaling, but I didn't want to cover up all the pretty paper. 😂

Have a great weekend! I hope to share some more layouts with you next week.

String Lake - Two Page Travel Scrapbook Layout

 Hello friends! Loving the Spring weather we are starting to see here in NE Indiana. It could be "false Spring", but I'll take it!!

Today, I'm sharing another layout from our tip to the beautiful Teton area in Wyoming in 2020.

We still had a bit of smoky haze in the skies from all the wild fires. Still gorgeous, though! I'm always amazed at the beauty of God's creation. 


The paper and journaling card is Heidi Swapp's "Wolf Pack" and the coordinating flowers are KaiserCraft "Collectables Antiquities". I designed the title with Design Space fonts, merging some of the letters together. I lean a lot on Design Space journaling too. The writing font is Elementary. My own handwriting is quite "elementary" looking too, but it isn't very legible. 😆


Thanks for checking it out today! Hope your week is blessed in unexpected ways!

Wander - Two Page Scrapbook Layout

 We were able to blend business and pleasure with this trip to Michigan in summer of 2020. Each year, I need to update one of my insurance designations and when I see the class offered in northern Michigan, it's a no-brainer! The conference was at a quaint resort in Boyne Highland. My husband was able to go explore, while I was in class all day. Lucky guy not having to endure the classes.

I had a fun new pack of paper to use from Simple Stories called "Simple Vintage - Great Escape". It's chock-full of mushrooms, ferns and other woodsy type paper and stickers.
I love how realistic the artwork is and the beautiful natural color scheme. I just kept layering things up using the map side as a strip along the outside edges and flipping the paper to make banners from the woodsy plant side. This set of paper is gorgeous and if you take pictures outdoors, you must have it!
I used a few pops of red to accent the red roofline of the conference center and a title made of Kraft paper.  

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I always love to hear your comments if you have anything to share with me. Happy crafting!
