Cassie

The challenge was great timing - I just got back from a week vacation with my hubby and son in Washington! The trip was lots of fun, but bringing an energetic, wiggly, and loud 1 yr old boy on a plane isn't something I want to do again anytime soon :P

Rachel

For this layout, I decided to scrapbook an absolute travel must for me - STARBUCKS!

Sandi

My wonderful husband is my favorite traveling companion and I made this card just for him.  In just a couple of weeks we will be heading north on a road trip to see my newest grandbaby - Isabelle Grace.  I love road trips and will be taking lots of photos to document the journey... that's what travel is all about isn't it?  Making memories and then I love to preserve those memories in my scrapbook pages.

I had a lot of fun with this week's Travel Theme! I still have about 7 destinations to scrap of our Babymoon last year, so this was perfect! On day 5 & 6 we stopped in Las Vegas while I was about 5 months pregnant. I toned down my background paper by painting beige over it.. I also wanted to add a touch of Vegas by adding some real play cards and also a dice. Wish I had some real chips to add as well, but we were no big gamblers!

I knew exactly what I would do when I found this week's challenge.  As the journaling on this page explains, I have grown up surrounded by steam trains as my Granddad really loves them.  We have so many photos of them, that I had to create a layout to display them, and it fit perfectly with the "travel" theme. :)

Suzanne

I've been waiting for the perfect time to use this sentiment from Scrappy Mom Stamps and this challenge was just what I needed. 

Guest Designer: Suzie McFloozy!

Hello! I'm Suzanne aka Suzie McFloozy. I am a SAHM to two very energetic (and super noisy!) boys aged 3 and 6 and wife to Kevin, my lovely hubby of eleven years and counting. I started crafting when I had Issac, my eldest son, and I decided to make the birth announcements.


Soon after I discovered scrapbooking and it was a perfect showcase for all the photo's that I was snapping of my new baby! As my children grew, and spend less time sleeping, cardmaking has become my fav pastime as I can still play with all my craft stash but actually get a project finished in an evening !


My favorite techniques are stamping and using the huge array of digis out there. And I love trying out new ways to color in my images. I also love to make handmade flowers for my cards and try out lots of different styles - I am loving the CAS style at the moment as you can see! Well that's enough about me - let's get crafting :)

Lovely card, Suzie! Thanks for joining us this week! :)

We will not be selecting a guest designer from Facebook this week due to our upcoming blog hop, but you're welcome to share your creations with us on Facebook anyway. We love seeing your projects on our wall! :)
