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!

Angry Pepper - One Page Layout

 We ate at the Angry Pepper while we were in Florida. What a fun place! We really enjoyed the food and the nostalgic decor.

This is my wonderful husband, enjoying his food. He's the best!! Always up for an adventure with me. 

The paper is again part from a vintage stack from Crate Paper "the Pier". The banner at the top uses tags and tickets from Recollections and the red button from Jillibean. I tied a little red, white, and blue baker's twine in one of the Kraft tags where I journaled.

Just a simple layout, featuring some great memories with my husband while we were off on our Florida adventure. Thanks for stopping by. One more Florida beach layout to come!

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "The Big Adventure"

Two years ago, we were blessed beyond belief to be invited to attend a work trip to Israel. One of the favorite parts of my job is helping to plan and organize agent incentive and training trips that we offer every two years. I typically am invited on the domestic trips only, but in 2017, I was giddy with the surprise invitation for my husband and I to join the group in Israel for our company's centennial year! Wow!!! 

I finished the album about 6 months ago, but haven't shared any of the layouts yet. It always takes me a while to photograph each page, then crop and edit them. So, now is the time! I will space them out a little with other family layouts, so that it doesn't get too boring. I was afraid all of the layouts might look the same, but I think they all have their own look and feel. So...here we go!! I'll share them in the same chronological order as our trip, because that is how my brain works.

What a long couple of flights! We broke it up a bit by laying over in Paris, so that I wouldn't get too sore from sitting. I have arthritis and sciatic issues, so getting out and moving was very helpful, even though it meant taking longer to get there.

From the moment we were picked up at the airport and ushered quickly through security, we were pampered and spoiled. The travel company took great care of us and we could relax and enjoy. It was such a joy to see the trip that we'd been planning for more than two years, playout in real life!

From the moment we started the commute from airport to hotel, it was obvious that we were not in the US. We knew this would be a great adventure and a trip of a lifetime for us!!

Even if you are not interested in Israel, these simple layouts can be used for any type of travel, or as a template for any two page layout, really. Just switch out the paper and embellishments and make it your own!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Queen for a Day"

This is my beautiful daughter-in-love. She is the glue that holds her sweet family together, including my oldest son and grand babies. She is a beauty, inside and out!

 She shares her birthday month with her two children and usually Mother's Day. She doesn't get all the recognition that she should receive. She's a stay at home Mom and I'm so thankful that my grand babies have their Mom at home with them. It's a huge sacrifice financially and I'm sure she feels like the walls are coming in on her sometimes.

 We are so blessed to be able to call her our daughter, especially since we didn't raise our own daughter. I hope that she will also call us Mom and Dad some day. ♥

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "Here we Come"



Last March, we had the blessing of a trip to San Diego. The main purpose was for business, but we were able to extend a few days and enjoy some time for just the two of us. We took tons of pictures, of course...starting with our flight.

The paper is Die Cuts with a View "World Travel" pack, along with SU cardstock to make it pop. The bracket map is My Minds Eye "Breaking Free". I adore these colors together.



  We found a lovely boutique hotel in the Gas Lamp District of San Diego called Hotel Indigo. I would highly recommend it! Beautiful wood floors, homey décor, and great location.

The tickets and stickers are from Creative Imaginations. The die cut airplane is cut with Cricut's Going Places cartridge. The title font  is Plantin School book "Italics" and "Tall Ball". This is one of my oldest cartridges, but I still use it all the time.

We're getting ready for another San Diego business trip, so I'm reliving every moment of last year's trip and will be posting all of my layouts here over the next few weeks. =) I can't wait to be there soaking up all of that glorious southern California sunshine again!

Three birthday layouts to share - "Flicks", "Happy Birthday Boys", "Make a Wish"

Please explain how March has come so quickly? While I'm ready for spring to come, it seems the months are flying by. Happy March 1st!

Since it's been a week since I've posted, I want to share three birthday layouts with you!! It seems all I've worked on lately is birthday pics, so there will be more birthday stuff later. Our boys share the same big day...August 22 (1990 and 1992). So, August is a big month for us, and then my birthday follows in September. My husband celebrated his 50th in January. Needless to say, I put my new "Birthday Bash" cricut cartridge to work lately. =)

Here we go. First up is "Happy Birthday Boys". The pictures were taken during our family celebration in our back yard. The weather was perfect. A pretty simple layout...I had fun with the banner!

Next up is my layout "Make a Wish". These pictures are from the following weekend when they had their friends over to celebrate their birthday with them. It's so nice that they have many of the same friends. That's what happens when you're close in age and go to the same small school... Everybody is friends with everybody. Kind of nice!

I was nervous about all of the bright colors going together, but I LOVE the way it turned out. My two guys are on the right side page.

Last, but not least (actually my fave of the three) is "Flicks". After the food and cake, they watched a movie in our backyard!!! We hung a white sheet on the fence and borrowed some equipment from our church. It was pretty cool. Jacob loves to do this and I'm sure it will be an annual event as long as he's living with us...which better be a long time!=) I changed the pictures to black and white, and turned it into a vintage-look layout. The "Flicks" icon is from the Nifty Fifties cartridge. Love this!!! I used it alot for my hubbies birthday layouts. You'll see those in future posts.

Lovin all of the Tim Holtz papers and filmstrip here. I may change my film reel. It doesn't look quite right and I've since thought of a better way to make one. Anyway, I love the vintage look and I hope that it inspires you in some way. Check back later for even more birthday layouts!!
