Teton Glaciers - Two Page Travel Scrapbook Layout

 Hello scrappy friends! Hope your week is off to a good start. 

I have a few more scrapbook layouts from our trip to the Tetons in September 2020. It was such a trying year! What a blessing to be able to get away and enjoy God's creation at it's very best!

This collection is KaiserCraft "Let's Go". It worked perfectly with my pictures and I wish I had more of it. Having the stamps, ephemera and zip strip from the same collection makes it all so easy to assemble a coordinated page. I designed my title and journaling in a text inside a drawn box with my Cricut. The title font is "Go Canada"

I really like the color of the background paper. It's kind of a stormy blue. 

Hope you are inspired to create today! Come back soon! Only a few Teton layouts left to share. 

Home on the Range - Two Page Travel Scrapbook Layout

 I'm back to share another layout from our trip to Wyoming. Hope you're not getting bored with all of these layouts. 

It was so cool to see this herd of buffalo in Yellowstone. Even though they are plentiful in the park, I'd never seen this many together, so close. They totally own the road and rightfully so. Everybody wants to see them close up, especially the calves. They can hold up traffic for awhile, but nobody seems to mind!

The paper is Reminisce "Scrap This" and "Get Crafty" along with Kaiser Craft's "Let's Go" collection. The washi is maybe from Recollections. I journaled with my Cricut using the "Dusty Spurs" font and added the buffalo. I love how detailed it turned out, almost like one jumped off the photo. 

I remember the title being difficult to cut because the letters were so thin, but I don't remember why I tipped the title word "range". I don't like it now.😜 It's okay to look back and wish something was different. Do you ever go back and change something on your finished layouts? I will definitely fix a date (which my husband seems to catch when I show him), or something else that I got wrong for historical purposes. I try to just use it as a learning experience, knowing not every layout will be published, or a work of art.

Hope you are off to a great start this week! Thank you for checking out my layouts!

 

Pronghorn Antelope - Two Page Travel Scrapbook layout

 Hello! Can't hardly believe it is already Memorial Day weekend. It was just March! As I get older, times flies faster and faster. Sometimes it makes my head spin.

I'm back today to share another Yellowstone layout with you. Hope it inspires you in some way.

As we traveled through Yellowstone, we had the privilege of seeing a herd of Pronghorn run across the road. We had enough time to snap some pictures.

The paper and embellishments are from KaiserCraft "Let's Go" collection. I love to buy packs of coordinating paper like this. It makes it so much easier to put a page together without searching for endless coordinating paper and random embellishments. 

I remember trying to make this page look a little different. I achieved that... Haha....but I don't think I will ever get used to the upside down pennant. It's really throwing me off. Oh well, I like everything else about the page, so it will stay. 

I'm enjoying reliving our trip to the Tetons as I share my scrapbook with you. It was so amazing! The scenery, the wildlife, the mountains! I hope we will have time to go back some day! Highly recommend it...10 out of 10!

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your holiday, but most of all remember the reason behind it as you think on these lyrics. 

"America the Beautiful"

"O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country love
And mercy more than life."

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!

 

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!

West Maui Mountains - Two Page Maui Layout

 Hello on this happy first day of  December!! Can you believe it? This year has seemed so long and hard, but some how it has flown for me. Here we are 24 days from Christmas. Ready or not, it is coming.

I'm still enjoying sharing all of my layouts from our amazing Hawaii trip last year. It's time to share some more sunshine with you.

What a beautiful day this was. Of course, every day was beautiful! These pictures were from another day of explorations through the West Maui Mountains. The vegetation is so beautiful and lush, and the rainforest type atmosphere was fun to experience.

I used a large floral tropical paper from Kaiser Craft's "Paradise Found" collection for the background and added a layer of a peach which had a much smaller pattern to highlight the photos also from Kaiser Kraft "On this Day". I almost always matt all of my photos. It makes them pop off the patterned papers that I love to use. I used some orange travel washi and journaling cards and chipboard (WeRMemory Keepers "Jet Set")  tucked under the tape along with small title letters with woodgrain design.

I cut some pennants for the right and stamped a directional arrow (Close to My Heart) to add a little detail as well as some twine around the travel cards. I need to use stamps on my pages more often! I have so many that would be appropriate for scrapbooking!

There are a total of 6 digital size pictures here. I love using this size, especially with vertical pictures. They leave enough room at the top and bottom to add some design to the page.

Thanks for looking! I have lots more Hawaii layouts to share in addition to some layouts from Christmases past! Tis the season! Have a great rest of the week!
