Death Valley and Challenge

In December 2009, my husband and I took a road trip to Death Valley National Park, I printed the pictures with all the intention of scrapping them and here I am getting to it in April of 2011! Man, time can really fly!

This first one, I'm entering for the Paper Variety's flower challenge. I used a background paper with flowers and a big paper flowers with a brass button in the middle.



This next one, I'm including because I just got the new World Traveler stack by DCWV and I love it! I was so excited about it and I finally got it! It's so vintage looking and it fits with so many of my travel photos. Tattered Time is next :) It was out of stock when I went shopping this weekend. I was so proud of myself. I walked out of Joanne's with only 3 things! That's unheard of! I'm trying really hard to use what I've got and buy only what I know I'm going to use.







Can't believe the weekend is already over! Hope you all had a great one :)

I'm so excited about this blog hop! I've loved Faber-Castel products for a long time and it was so much fun to combine them with my favorite DCWV textures. There’s some great prizes too- Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft and DCWV will be giving away $75 in product at the end of the hop.  To win, follow the list below and leave a comment .  The hop will end at 5PM EST on Friday, March 28 th .  The winner will be announced on Monday, March 31 st on each of the company’s blogs.    I really wanted a special page for these pictures. They give me a very HAPPY feeling  and I love the sun rays coming through the trees. I wanted to mimic that in the background paper. I thought the woven craft cardstock was a great background because its a little less stark than white for these pictures.   I wanted the journaling to be more private so I made it a pull tab behind this cut out tag from the Bohemian Sunrise stack.    To make the background I used a DCW

Welcome to Day 2 of the DCWV and Clear Scraps blog hop! You should have come from Britt's blog: http://pinkpapercrowns.blogspot.com Thanks for making it this far!  On to the project... I might have a LO or 2 about Christmas....Why? I just never get around to making more of them! The Holidays are usually too crazy and then I get into doing LOs of just ever day stuff or travel pics... and the holidays just get forgotten.  This year, I'm ready! I'll have the album pre-made, I just have to stick on the pictures and add some journaling! I used this 8x8 tabbed acrylic album from Clearscraps to create a Christmas mini that is ready to go.  The papers are Christmas Memories with a little bit of the Christmas and winter Diecut stack, the Christmas basics 6x6 & the Burlap stack. I love clear albums because I like to see the layers through the clear pages.    I folded the 12x12 papers in half and cut them to create pockets for journaling a
