2010 Road Trip Layouts

Since I started going to these scrapbooking classes I haven't actually used any of the layouts I've done. It is mainly due to the fact that they are only 2 page layouts and I don't have the supplies to make coordinating pages. Now I figured it was just about time to finally work on some layouts I would actually use soon. I have been wanting to do some pages for my 2010 road trip but what I had picked out was some really cute die-cuts, white 12x12 paper and some really awful bright paper that just didn't go with the photos or die-cuts. 

Using some inspiration from my last scrapbooking class I  pulled out the die-cuts and started looking for coordinating papers. I sat down and over 2 days I worked on 5, 2 page layouts that all went together but weren't the same. Each state that we traveled through got a 2 page layout and with 5 states that we traveled through am sad I didn't have more good quality photos for my scrapbook.

Oregon

California

Arizona

New Mexico

Texas

Since I already had my pictures selected for each page I was able to figure everything out a little easier by placing the photos where I wanted and adjusted accordingly.

I haven't glued down the photos yet just in case I wanted to add a few more elements to some of the pages. But here is what the layouts look like with the photos in place.

After looking at some of the photos I realize they aren't the best quality but then again I only had a cell phone camera with no flash at the time, but I still managed to get some good photos. Some of these photos my look familiar if you were following my other blog since I think I stopped posting around the "roadtrip" portion of my life story.

June Scrapbooking Class

I'm Back! It has been a while but I am back with the latest layouts from the monthly scrapbooking class I like to go to. This month we did two planned layouts and then we got to go through a giant box of scrap papers that the instructor brought so we could make our own for once. 

A cute summery layout

An Italian trip layout.

The Italian layout isn't 100% finished because I wanted to be able to play around with the elements on the page. Mainly because we are going to Italy next month with my parents and I wanted to be able to use the layout and elements for those photos. 

Now instead of a 2 page layout that the class usually does I went with a 4 page layout when I found enough scraps to do so. I fell in love with the patterned paper and I used all but one piece that I found in the scrap bin. it only took me a little over an hour to figure out how to get all of these looking good, then I found the most amazing brads and I managed to work them into 3 of the 4 pages.
