Tourin' the Town - Two Page Scrapbook Page



Here is my second to the last layout for our Wyoming trip! These photos were taken from the restaurant on our last night in Jackson Hole. It was fun to eat right down town.
We had lots of critters eyeing our food!
Do you like using patterned paper? It's my favorite. Sometimes it looks a little busy, but I can deal with that. I just try to break it up with some solids and embellishments. The paper is Recollections and Simple Stories "Happy Trails". The title, journaling and all embellishments were created with my Cricut in Design Space. I don't use stickers very often, but sometimes these little alpha letters are just the ticket.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. One more Wyoming layout to share!

Danger - Too Close - Two Page Travel Scrapbook Layout

 Hello! It's been a beautiful day filled with mostly sunshine and warm temperatures. Not that I was outside much, but it was a wonderful Work From Home Wednesday. My favorite day of the work week! 

Today, I'm sharing a layout of a close up moose and bear sighting while we were in the Grand Tetons, Wyoming. My hubby took these. Yes, he was way too close! They all got in trouble with the Rangers. Thankfully everybody was fine and got some great pictures out of the deal. 😂😬

When traveling the roads through the Grand Teton National Park, you will often see a bunch of vehicles pulled off to the side of the road. That's your cue to pull off and go see the attraction. Usually, some type of wildlife has been spotted and you can literally follow the crowd and it will be worth the walk. 

The paper is from Hiedi Swapp Wolf Pack. The journaling circle is from another set. I used Close to My Heart "Life in Pictures" for the cameras. 


As I look back on this layout, I'd probably change a few things. It seems kind of "bear" (um....bare)😒 to me. More embellishments and something to tie in the two sides would have been helpful. We don't hit them all out of the park, and that's okay. I do like the paper I chose, but definitely could have tied them together a little more meaningfully. Thanks for listening to my self critique.

Teton Village - Two Page Travel Layout

 Here's another layout from our Wyoming trip in 2020. The Teton Village is just outside the entrance for the Teton National Park. Our group stayed at The Terra Hotel. It was beautiful and we loved our stay there. In fact, I'd like to book another meeting there in the future with one of our groups. There were lots of other accommodations available, as well as some shopping and eateries. Of course, the Teton Mountain Range is the most scenic back drop for the entire area!

This was a pretty simple layout. All pictures were matted on white for definition and I added black and white washi tape to highlight a few of the pictures. I like the black and white with the green plaid patterned paper.
I created the title in Design Space and cut it with my Cricut along with Mr. Moose. The dark green banners on both sides of the layout help to anchor the photos. Circut journaling for the "win", so that future generations can actually read it. I also added a few black and white tickets from my stash

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a lovely rest of the week!

Moose Sighting - Two Page Travel Scrapbook Layout - WY

 I am so behind in sharing my layouts! In September 2020, we had a wonderful opportunity to visit Wyoming!! Our hotel was right near the Grand Teton National Park. There was so much wildlife to see, not to mention the incredible Teton Mountain Range. 

Here's a layout from our first day exploring. We saw a moose right away! 

The patterned paper is Close to My Heart "Aurora" with some washi tape from Recollections.
I used "One Way Borders" stamp set from CTMH for the arrow, cut some trees and the lovely moose from Design Space, along with the title. The arrow embellishment is just under the picture where y ou can see the moose the best. Can you see her? I even used the Cricut for my journaling so that somebody can actually read it later. 
I love how the solid blue along the bottom makes the sky and the mountain range pop. You will notice in many of these pictures that the sky was very hazy from all the fire fires out west. It was a shame, but it didn't stop us from seeing everything we could. 

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