Man, this card I made tonight makes me wish I was still on vacation :)
I saw the challenge this week at Scrappy Moms and am so bummed! I *just* won Campin' Critters on Ebay (won't that be perfect for the Colorado album?!), but of course it won't be here in time. I really wanted to play along though, since the prize is their newest camping stamp set. Perfect for that cart!!
Campin' Critters has a really cute pond and tree cut. So I decided to use a similar cut from the Pack Your Bags cartridge.
Just love that palm tree! I popped him up and added brown buttons for the coconuts. The "Relax" stamp is from my favorite Scrappy Moms set "Sunkissed".
Yep, 2 weeks before my first cruise around Hawaii - my friend, also going on the cruise, took me to see Poseidon. Insert nightmares here!
I started scrapbooking in 2006, after returning from that once-in-a-lifetime trip and "back then" was more about the memoriabilia than the photos/stories. I cringe every time I look at those pics - 150 total from 10 days in paradise. I imagine that I could snap that many in 10 minutes today, given the chance to go back.
Thus, that album looks a lot different than my pages now. But, I am still working on that album, every summer I make the promise to finish it and every fall comes and I've lost interest.
But, I'm off to a roaring start this year. I already completed 1 double page layout with my new Pack Your Bags cartridge. And last night, completed a second set.
The current challenge at The Paper Variety inspired me to scrap this "horror" movie.
The left side of the layout, feature sketch #8 from Artful Delight.
Like I said, I saved a lot of memorabilia. This is the People Magazine article comparing the original to the remake. Since then, I've seen both and really enjoyed them {now that I'm back on land}.
The cruise ship is cut from the Pack Your Bags cartridge at 2 1/2". Love the layers!
The second page, features sketch #10 also from Artful Delight.
I saved the newspaper movie listings (lol) and of course my tickets tub. The funniest thing was getting off the plane in Honolulu and seeing the billboard with the movie advertisement! So funny!
Love the mixed alphas in the title (same cut as above, different feature key).
Here are the pages together:

Thanks so much if you stuck with me this long! :) I was going through Blogger withdraw last night wanting to share this and everything else.
I'm going back in time with this layout LOL! I start scrapbooking after my trip to Hawaii in the summer of 2006. That album is STILL not done! I like to go back and work on it now and then though, as I feel inspired. I stick with simpler pages to make it consistent with what I already have completed.
My sister-in-law surprised me with the Pack Your Bag cricut cartrdige for my birthday and I have been wanting to make a layout with it! I scraplifted this from Robyn, aka My Pink Stamper, who created a layout similar to this on the cricut cruise. It was perfect for what I needed!

I popped up several of the layers on the different cuts for dimension and I love the result!
I'm entering this into her National Scrapbook Day challenge #8 to use a summer theme. It has been a SUPER busy couple of weeks, I hope to get back to crafting regularly again soon :)
