Quick Quotes Layout

Here's a layout I finished yesterday. It is a kit that I bought from Quick Quotes. This kit is called "What Little Girls are made of". I decided to change the layout quite a bit. The kit had the tags with sayings going horizontal across the page. I covered them with black and white pictures of the people I travelled to the Dominican with. The larger picture on the right page is the 3 friends I knew heading out and myself. I soon got to know the other 9 people really well and had a real ball travelling with them. I also changed the sentiments so it wasn't about little girls but added on some vellum with travel sayings on it to the remaining tags. I added lots of rhinestones and the tropical flowers to finish it off. These kits are handy when you don't want to do any thinking. I find they're affordable and quick to put together. I just always add my own take onto them. Hope you enjoy, and check out Quick Quotes website.

Cruise Layout of Cabin

This is another of my layouts for my cruise with my daughter. This one of course is the inside of our cabin, which to us, was spacious and amazing except for our shower tube. It was like standing in one of those tubes that shoots messages from one area of an office to another. I kept looking up to make sure I wasn't going to end up shot up to the pool on the upper deck in my birthday suit, (a very scary thought). I needed to scrapbook the cabin so we can remember our fabulous trip in every aspect.

The layout was based on one in the Close to my Heart book called Reflections. I loved how they did the little shadow box, so I did my own with the date of our trip on it. I also used plain prisma flowers and colored them with an orange ink to match the papers. The font that I cut out was from my Cricut cartridge called Life's A Beach.

Many more layouts to come.

Happy Easter Weekend to all.

My Cruise Cover Page

Well it was difficult to do a scrapbook page without a picture in it, but I got creative to make this cover page for my cruise album. Last year around this time I had just come back from a 7 day cruise with my daughter for her 19th birthday. It was a fabulous cruise and I figured I had better get that vacation done before moving on to my Dominican trip in February with the girls.

For my layout I used the wavy paper from Best Creation Inc's Surf's Up line. I cut out some of the waves with my exacto knife and tucked the cruise ship behind it. The cruise ship was cut out with my Cricuit cartridge called Life's A Beach, great cartridge. I used my white ink pen to write the name of our cruise ship on the boat. For the steam I just added, actually really gooped, some liquid glue and mixed together a white and pale blue Fun Flock with some glitter in it and put it ontop of the glue to look fluffy. I used some dollar store foam letters and mounted them on blue cardstock for the Title and Date. On the side I just used my label printer and printed out all the Ports of Call that we visited. I just wanted to keep it a little simple. Hope you like it.
