Hi! It’s Valerie today with a vacation themed double page layout. I don’t create a lot of double page layouts for everyday stuff, but I use the format all time for vacation layouts. It’s double the space for photos and more lengthy journaling I tend to do for pages like this.
A couple summers ago, we vacationed in Idaho. Not your usual vacation destination, right? We had friends who had moved out there and we thought we would probably never have a better excuse to visit the great state of Idaho. It was one of the best vacations we’ve had as a family. One of our adventures in Idaho was whitewater rafting with our host as our guide. I’m not the adventurous type, especially when rough water is involved, but I’m glad I agreed to it and glad I can check it off the list.
Supplies:Market Street “Nob Hill” chipboard elements, Stripes paper, & label stickers. Ashbury Heights chipboard elements. Necessities Reds Stripe vellum, enamel dots, and enamel shapes. Necessities Metallic metal dots and metal shapes. Necessities Wood monogram alpha. Cut and Paste Charm “Smile” enamel dots and “Bliss” enamel shapes. Lost & Found Record It 4x6 journal card, Now & Then Mildred “Oh Happy Day” chipboard elements.
I knew I wanted to use some vellum on my page from the Necessities collection, so I picked the Reds, Stripe vellum because of the red raft in my photo. Then, I searched the Market Street collection for a coordinating pattern and picked the “Nob Hill” Stripes paper because of the arrows and shade of yellow.
The “Awesome” chipboard shape from Nob Hill wasn’t quite the right shade of red for me, so I sprayed it with some red mist and now it coordinates perfectly. I flipped back a couple seasons and used a 4x6 journal card from Lost & Found Record It for my journaling.
The right side features an extra large photo, so why not use some extra large letters?! The Necessities Wood monogram alphas are my favorite. They are a great neutral shade that matches practically everything. I embellished the title with some Necessities enamel shapes and some word stickers from the Market Street Nob Hill label sticker sheet.
Next time you're scrapbooking vacation photos, you should give a double page layout a try (if it’s something you don’t normally do, of course)! And on the topic of vacation, I’d love to know—where's your favorite unconventional place to vacation?
