August Challenge YOUrself

Here's my DT entry for Challenge YOUrself.  This month, we have a "vacation" theme.

I used photos from The Flamingo hotel in Las Vegas.  

Supplies:

Papers by Crate Paper Oasis

Ephemera by Heidi Swapp

Enamel dots by Echo Park

EK Success 2" Square Punch

LM 492 - FLOWER

This month at Lasting Memories, we are using supplies that start with the letters in spring words.  This week, our word is FLOWER.

I created a layout with photos from The Bellagio Gardens in Las Vegas.  We were there last fall and the theme for their display was "Indian Summer."  It was gorgeous.  There were tons of pumpkins, mums and other fall flowers and leaves.  There were animatronic tigers, foxes, monkeys, elephants, peacocks and other animals.  So cool!

Here's what I used on my layout:

F - Fall
L - Las Vegas 
O - Orange
W - Wreath
E - Elephant (in photos)
R - Red

Supplies:

All patterned paper, stickers, brads, chipboard by Carta Bella Fall Break Collection

Fox from Photoplay Paper Fall Breeze Collection

April Stick it Down Double Page Layout

Here's the April sketch for Stick it Down:

This was a little outside of my comfort zone. I don't usually do a lot of spraying on my layouts, but I pulled our my Heidi Shine and was pretty pleased with the results.

Vegas Bound Layout

In January, I went on a business trip to Las Vegas.  I had a blast!  My friend/co-worker and I snapped this selfie on the plane on our way to Vegas and this page is going to be the first page of my album for this trip.  I spent a week in Vegas with all of my work friends, then I flew to Los Angeles to visit my BFF for 4 days and we went to Disneyland.  So much to scrap about!

The challenge at Lasting Memories Layout Challenge this week is selfies, and I do love a good selfie!
