Trip to the Smokies

Haven't been crafting because we were out of town. We spent the week end in the Pigeon Forge/ Gatlinburg area, but spent most of our time over in the Smoky Mtn National Park. I wanted to share a few pictures!


It was a rainy, damp week end, but still beautiful!!

Took this one of the deer in Cade's Cove.

Manatees

This will be the last layout I post until I retake some pictures.... and work on the rest of the pages.

I took these at the manatee area at SeaWorld. Unfortunately, we didn't get to go into the underwater viewing area. After massive amounts of rain that week, the viewing area was flooded and temporarily closed, so we only got to visit and take pictures from the pool area.

When I Travel........

I think this scrapbook page is one of my favorites... not because of the paper, colors or layout, but because it so accurately represents Laura. The pictures are her--- happy, laughing and enjoying life. In addition, the sentiment is exactly how she approaches a vacation and life-- she wants to see and do it all!! Here's a close up of the sentiment so you can see/ read it more easily. Laura actually found this at the scrapbooking store when we were in Tennessee in March. I saw it in her basket and immediately told her to go get one for me!! I knew I had to have it for a page for her!

Flagler Beach

Some of these pages are a little out of order.... I'm still working and will post more SeaWorld pages later, but this will be one of the last pages in the vacation album. We stopped by Daytona on the way home from Orlando, and these pictures were taken at Flagler Beach. The dp was so busy, I didn't think it needed much embellishments or anything else added to it.

"Back to the Shack"

Started working on our vacation scrapbook... I was quite pleased with the progress I was making today-- until the darn printer ran out of ink!!

This is a page for our favorite restaurant: The Crab Shack on Tybee Island!! I started out working with a kit from A Page in Time Scrapbook.com, but just wasn't pleased with some of the papers or the layout. I ended up combining some of the papers/ embellies from the kit with some paper from DCWV and Bazzil cardstock.
