Hiking with Rob and Fiona!

We have created a monster in Fiona. She now expects daily walks…rain, shine or even snow. Yes, you heard me…while it is actively snowing. Well we are now past that gratefully. Yes, I knocked on wood just in case. Today’s post highlights the walk/hike we took at the Deschutes River Trail in Tumalo, Oregon. It was an absolutely beautiful day and I took advantage of a double page spread in my Creative Memories 2026 Scrap Journal where I capture the everyday and not just the holiday. This layout features a collection I purchased in a Secret Box from last year with Creative Memories. That box is not longer available but they do still have Secret Box #4 from last year….and the Secret Boxes are going to continue in 2026…word on the street is that Secret Box #1 for 2026 will be coming soon. Don’t worry, I will let you know all about it when it comes.

You will notice that even in the smaller size, the Scrap Journal can hold a lot of photos. They’re smaller but they get the job done and they operate on a much smaller footprint. A double page spread is only 13.5” wide by 10” tall. A traditional scrapbook double page layout would be 24”wide x 12”tall. Let me know if you want to learn more about scrapping in a smaller format. Keep it scrappy my friends!
