Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "DINOS"

My kids loved playing with dinosaur toys about 20 years ago when they were still little guys. I'm hoping my grandson will get more interested in them, but so far, he's really into transformers. My boys loved those too, so he comes by that naturally. 😍

Today, I'm sharing one last layout from the Houston e4 conference I attended a few years back. Our final night was at the Museum of Natural History where they had an impressive display of dinosaurs! We gathered and ate many different kinds of foods that were placed at different food stations spread throughout the exhibit. It was a fun night!!
 
As I've mentioned, part of my job is meeting and event planning. I can't even imagine all that went into this event! Everything was thought through and planned in such great detail. It's strange to look at these pictures where it looks like there was hardly anybody there! There were bunches of people, as you can tell from some of the other event layouts I posted previously.

 Again, I used the Teen Angst patterned paper to set off these pictures with the black background, and purple matting. The little alpha stickers add a different dimension for sub-titles on a page. I used them here to spell out the location.

This wraps up my Houston e4 conference layouts! Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by today.

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Roll Out the Red Carpet"

Here's another layout from the fun travel conference I attended in Houston a few years back. One of the evening events was in the George Brown Convention Center across the street. It was a bit of a walk, but they sure made the walk interesting!

 The lady in red was singing opera. Her gown came down into a red carpet for photos with her. The lady in white was silent, but used her hoop to do all kinds of graceful moves.

 The also had a band similar to "Stomp" that  was mainly percussion. They seemed to appear out of nowhere with very little set up. They were really entertaining as they beat on their garbage cans and pots!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Stay warm!!

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Asian Flavor"

While I was in Houston, we were encouraged to choose a tour or activity. I'm not sure why I chose the Asian cooking class, but I'm glad I did! It was a lot of fun just to watch the expert (Dorothy Huang) cook, but even more fun to hop in and help out making dumplings, and other tasty dishes.

 The food was gorgeous and very tasty. I think it would be fun for our whole family to get together and make Asian food some weekend. I'm not sure I know enough about it to lead the family in this kind of endeavor, but in my mind it sounds like a lot of fun!

 So tasty!! We all received one of her cookbooks to take home. I should really try to do this myself sometime. What am I waiting for??

The patterned paper was some I had in my stash. The pops of fuchsia looked great with the pink circular signs the travel directors were leading us with. It was a fun layout, and I like the way it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I have a few more Houston layouts to share, so stop back later this week.

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Houston e4"

Every now and then, I'm invited to go to a conference for work. This was a travel conference, and it was pretty amazing.

 My room had a great view of the ballpark and downtown area! We were able to pick out our own gifts and actually fill a bag with lots of different items from a store they'd set up in the hotel, just for the conference participants. How fun is that?

 I really liked the colorful logo they used to depict Houston, so I printed a picture of that and found  patterned paper (in my scrap stash) and embellishments to match. The circle of stars was cut with my Cricut with the Edge to Edge cartridge. I used some of the cut out stars around the page, because they were too cute to waste!

I loved the conference and learned some things. The hardest part for me was not knowing anybody, but I put myself out there and met a few people. It was a great experience!

Thanks for looking! 😊
