Bahamas Album - Rope Bridge

Hi there friends!  I'm so glad you've stopped by today because I've got another page from our PL style Bahamas album to share with you. :) On one of our many walks around the resort we stayed at, we found a super cool rope bridge to explore and had some fun checking it out...

 

Supplies: Becky Higgins Dear Lizzy 5th & Frolic PL Cards; Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain; Studio Calico Mister Huey - Dewey; Studio Calico Marks & Co PL Kit Stamp; Elle's Studio Summer Lovin' Cutouts; Freckled Fawn Speech Bubbles Wood Chips; My Mind's Eye Enamel Dots; Amy Tangerine Stitching Template; DMC Floss #644; Traveling_Typewriter Font

 

In the journaling I talk about how much time we spent at the bridge...including how long it took me to gather up the courage to walk over it, LOL.  Yes, I'm scared of bridges -- any and all bridges.  It was really cool going across this one though and we got some great shots of each other. ;)

Oh and for those of you doing PL who like the Becky Higgins kits, you seriously need to get some of 5th & Frolic!  My friend Sandi is AWESOME and picked one up at her local Michaels for us to split because my store didn't carry it and I loooooooove it.  It's definitely one of my favs...

 

I hope you're all having a great week so far!  I'll be back soon to share some more.  Thanks for popping in for a visit!

I know that's a whole bunch of selfies all at once but what better way to make those pages look good right? LOL! ;)

Seriously though I like to try and snap a shot of my hubby and I whenever I think about it and we did a lot of these shots while walking around the resort.  Putting them all together seemed like the best way to get them scrapped and I really love how much "us" is shown here. :)

 

Thanks for stopping by today!  I've got some more pages done plus a few more that are I'm working on, and I promise to share them with you soon!  Have an awesome day...

Bahamas Album - PL Style

Good morning everyone!  Today I'd like to share with you a few pages from a trip to the Bahamas that my hubby and I took in 2011 through his job.  I've wanted to scrap the pictures for a long time now but had SO much trouble deciding how to go about it.  A few months ago I bought a SNAP album and some inserts to try but after starting work on editing the pics, I knew there was no way I could condense them down that much.  My solution?  Project Life! 

 

I recently bought a 12x12 PL album and inserts to start over on our yearly PL (I was originally doing a smaller size but it wasn't working for me) but decided to turn the album into a vacation album instead.  I'm SO glad that I went with the idea because the pages are working out perfectly!!  It's sooooooo quick and easy to get them done this way, especially since my amazing friend Suzanne walked me through the process of creating 3x4 pics over at PicMonkey. ;) I'm over halfway done with the trip now and I've scrapped around 70 pictures so far which is very cool! 

 

Here are the first few pages I did...
