Celebrate - Two Page Hawaii Layout

We always try to end our agent trips with a spectacular, memorable event. Something they wouldn't likely be able to experience on their own. Our final gala dinner event was at the Iolani Palace! What an extraordinary venue!! Unfortunately, it rained and rather than dining in the open air courtyard, we had to rent a huge tent. It was still very beautiful and special!

 We used peacock feathers, white roses, and beautiful textured tablecloths for decor. The evening's dress code was sophisticated Black & White!! Everybody participated and showed up looking fabulous! I was able to save one of the menus and peacock feathers. Unfortunately, the real feathers didn't fare so well on the flight, so I made my own.

 It was super hot and humid (along with the rain) that night, so I looked pretty "moist" to say the least. Some how the picture of us still turned out okay.

The silver shimmer paper seemed perfect to highlight our special event. I was able to fit several photos on the page and still have enough room for the peacock feather embellishments and menu. I'm not sure if you can tell from the pic, but I covered the feathers with Wink of Stella for a little bit of glimmer. I didn't want to add another color as a shadow to the title, so I used vellum, which ended up looking like a real light gray...the perfect see through shadow.

This is the last layout of the "work" portion of our trip! Next, I'll be sharing a bunch of layouts from our vacation time together in Maui. Hope you will come back and check them out!

Just a few more Israel layouts to share! Whew!!! There were quite a few. This is what happens when you have so many great memories to capture. They all fit nicely in one album, though, so I think I did well!

 This is a second layout from our final gala event. The guy behind me looking my direction is the person I work closely with to help plan our agent trips. He's kind of like a big brother to me. I wish I could remember why we were all laughing, but I'm thinking the joke was on me here based on my expression. 😆

 It was such a great night seeing all of our planning play out in real life. What a blessing to even be there with my colleagues! I was a last minute add to the invitation list, so even more of a surprise blessing! My husband and I are just so grateful for the opportunity to experience Israel with so many amazing people that we know and love!!

I chose to play off the pink in my necklace and in the centerpiece flowers. Matting the pics in green amped up the color even more. I love the memories this layout evokes for my husband and I!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Two more trip layouts coming soon!

Here's another layout of our final gala event in Israel! The trip was an amazing, once in a lifetime experience for my husband and I. So many memories made with our wonderful work family. It was such an amazing event!

 After dinner there was dessert and a time for open mic, for anybody who wanted to share about their Israel experience. Once again, I was completely blown away by the amazing agents that we have the pleasure to work with every day. I'm so grateful for the way they represent our company to the churches that we serve across the country!

 We are beyond blessed to have been able to participate in this amazing trip! We were able to experience walking in the places where Jesus walked and learning more about his vast love and ultimate sacrifice for us all!! Words really can't describe it all.

Thanks for stopping by!! Have a blessed week!!

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Olmaya Gala"

Our final event in Israel was a Gala where we celebrated our time together. What an amazing venue with a panoramic view of the Old City.

The location, décor, entertainment, food, and our amazing group made it a phenomenal memory for everybody who was there. I felt so blessed to be given the opportunity to help with the planning of this once in a lifetime trip, from start to finish, and then see it all play out in person with all of these amazing coworkers and agents.

 Everybody was taking photos in groups and as couples with the old city in the background while listening to the jazz band on the lawn and enjoying some hors d'oeuvres. Then we went in for an amazing dinner together.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I have a few more Israel layout to share so stay tuned!
