Death Valley

The name doesn't do it justice! This place is wonderful!
Here's a double page LO I made of our weekend in Death Valley. This was in December 2009! It's going to be 2 years already and we have been wanting to go back ever since! We wanted to go back in spring, it's only a 5 hour drive but we were so limited in time that it didn't happen in 2010 or 2011...maybe 2012 will be the year! I still have a few more pages to do about this trip...2 years later. LOL 

I work with what inspires me at the time even if the pictures are years old. I don't stick to finishing an album about a certain trip or theme, because most of the time, I'm more excited and inspired about working with the new pictures. What's your system for scrapbooking your memories? Do you stick to one theme or one album or are you random like me?

I used craft cardstock and Me and My Big Ideas
Journey paper stack for the background papers.
I sprayed the green and craft papers with smooch spritz.


The sticker on the journaling card above is from the Making Memories
Passaport Collection. The 'scenery' sticker is from
Me and My big ideas soft spoken also the Journey collection. The rest are cutouts from
the DCWV World Traveler stack.


Here the square on the top photo is from Me and My Big ideas
Softspoken Journey. The rest are cutouts from DCWV"S World Traveler stack.
I used pen stitching all around the border of the pages and on some embellishments.
  
Hope you're all enjoying your summer! Stay Safe!

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

Christmas with Clear Scraps & DCWV

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
