As you have probably noticed, I do not scrapbook in any particular order! To me, scrapbooking in date order is boring... I like to re-live past events, and by creating layouts that are not in any particular order lets me "jump" around from one event to another & then back again!!

Even the way I decide on what to scrapbook isn't always the same! Some days I choose the pictures first, then the paper & finally decide on a layout. Other times I have been inspired by a sketch or someone else's layout, then decide on the pictures & paper!

No matter what your "style", as long as you are getting layouts done, you are preserving those memories!!

So with that in mind... For this layout I went back to July 2008!

I found the layout on the Sketch Support by Scrapbook Generation Publishing website. If you haven't had a change to check out these website, you need to!! They have sketches of 1 & 2 page layouts, cards & something they call Add-On Sketches. The one things I like about this website is that they list their layouts by the number of pictures on that layout! So if you have 5 pictures of one even, instead of looking though all the sketches, you just look at the sketches that have 5  photos! If you have 10 pics... they have 2 layouts for you to choose from!! :-)

As for the paper, I used the retired "Fresh Print Traveler" collection from My Little Yellow Bicycle.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Till next time... Happy Scrapping!! :-)

Every month I get a Scrapbooking kit sent to me from "Memory Workshop". This paper was in one of these kits. I just love it... it's the "Traveler" line from Little Yellow Bicycle... the only thing I didn't like about the line was that the paper doesn't make me think of traveling but all the embellishments that go along with this line of paper are definitely "Travel" related... such as "Are we there yet?", "Destination", "Traveler", "This Way" or "Road Trip"! You get the idea!

So my challenge was to create a page where I could use up a number of these "Travel" embellishments without having to use up a lot of this nice paper.  The website I mentioned the other day - "Sketch Support by Scrapbook Generation Publication" inspired this layout. (It would also work great for using up some of those scraps we all seem to have!)
