Hike More

Another thing we did while up in Virginia for Will and Charity’s wedding was explore some of the Blue Ridge Mountain Scenic Highway. We stopped off at The Saddle and hiked around. Rob was goofing off pretending to jump of “the saddle” and was hanging out in one of the shelters on the trail.

I used my Creative Memories Hiking Memories collection and a pine tree border maker cartridge (both no longer available) to document our adventure. I hope you enjoy my two-page spread!

Remember this…the Floyd Flea Market!

The weekend of Will and Charity’s wedding, the family took a drive and found ourselves at the Flea Market in Floyd, Virginia. As I always preach to scrappers, “capture the everyday and not just the holidays”. This is a prime example of that practice. Rob and I were adventuring in the areas near the wedding venue and came across a flea market. Melissa, Nancy and Mike joined us and we toodled about enjoying the local wares for sale. It was a lovely visit and an absolutely gorgeous afternoon.

I captured the event using Creative Memories’ Natural Beginnings collection including the paper, stickers and embellishments. I also used one of my favorite Border Maker Cartridges for the edging…the Notebook Edge Border. I hope you like this single page spread. I tried to keep it simple and balanced for those who like a linear layout.

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! And, as always, keep it scrappy my friends!

Lakeside Memories

Here’s a single page layout for my Scrap Journal where I use the Lakeside Memories collection from Creative Memories to capture a day trip for the hubs (aka Rob) and I to Lake Tahoe. It was a glorious day to enjoy views of the lake. I used a couple of retired punches from Creative Memories from a special hiking and fishing collection as well as the Lakeside Memories paper, stickers and embellishments. Enjoy the layout!

Adventures in Reno!

Rob and I had a 4 day weekend in Reno, Nevada. We visited the area and spent time with old friends. We had a blast. To commemorate the event I created a single page Scrap Journal layout. I used the designer paper, embellishments and stickers from the Copper Canyon 2 collection from Creative Memories. I also use a retired Skyline punch. Love everything about this layout, EXCEPT, if I could do it over again…I would distress the skyline punch. It looks too neat.

I hope you enjoyed what I created. If you’re interested in purchasing some of the supplies I used in this layout check out the links here…Copper Canyon 2 designer paper and embellishments. As always, keep it crafty my friends!
