Mammoth Hot Springs - Two Page Travel Scrapbook Layout

 I hope you've noticed that I'm on a roll of posting regularly. Hopefully, I didn't just jinx myself.

Today, I'm sharing another layout from our Yellowstone trip from a few years back. This is still one of my favorite destinations so far. 

We travelled north in Yellowstone National Park to Mammoth, Wyoming to see the Mammoth Hot Springs and saw the Continental Divide along the way.

Since I failed to journal on my page, 😲 Mammoth Hot Springs is a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine adjacent to Fort Yellowstone. It was created over thousands of years as hot water from the spring cooled and deposited calcium carbonate. You can walk along the boardwalk and see all of the interesting formations. 

The Close to My Heart cardstock and American Crafts "Wolf Pack" paper were a great combo for this layout along with some woodgrain washi tape. I'm not sure where the "Wander" embellishment came from but I think it was a different pack of designer paper. I cut some cool evergreens for embellishments.

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out my Yellowstone layouts. Enjoy your weekend!

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. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! 

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!

The Mountains are Calling - Two Page Travel Scrapbook Layout

 Hopping on again to share another travel scrapbook layout from the most beautiful, Jenny Lake, in Wyoming. The scenery is beautiful on it's own without us in the foreground, BUT it's a must to prove we were there, right? 😂

I used patterned paper and wolf card from Heidi Swapp "Wolf Pack" collection, Simple Stories "Happy Trails" woodgrain design, and Close to My Heart "Aurora across the page horizontally. The decorative tape (brand?) is such a simple way to elevate the design of the page. The title and mountain range embellishments are from Design Space along with the journaling. Each photo was matted in blue to help them pop off the patterned paper.

I hope you are inspired by this page in some way! Maybe you'll scrap some of your trips, or maybe you'll plan a future trip to the Tetons! I highly recommend it.
