SHCG: How FUN FUN FUN! LUV the square layouts with dots pattern papers. The photos are great and intermixing a couple plain papers brings out the images. If this was a layout where every box had a photo the eye wouldn't know where to go next. Wait that sounds just like the layout I dod last night no wonder I thought it was too busy.
Thanks for the shout-out! I LOVE what you did with this summary! With each trip I have to fight the urge to scrap every cute photo, but I find that doing a single two-page LO makes me truly select just the absolute best pictures and most important memories.
SHCG: I L.O.V.E. this one! Love it! Love it so very much! The pps are awesome, so are the pics, the journaling-awesome! Love it!I think you can leave the labels on the pics out! Managing to include 13 pics on this lo-amazing! Using mix of B&W and colored photos-amazing! Love it!
SHCG: Wow, you really rocked that K&Co pp in several ways--coordinating it with pps from other makers, cutting it down to pieces of interest (whereas I might feel overwhelmed and blocked by the whole pattern), thereby isolating what's aesthetically pleasing about the pattern. Fantastic placement overall! I like the mix of photos, b/w with color, candid with posed shots. It reminds me of mosaic tile in a cozy home, so I'd leave it as is, rather than add captions. I think it's one of those spreads that's personal to you in that the trip evokes snippets of fun memories. Your design conveys that. I think it's funny you used Vagabond on your four pages of this particular trip. Hee, hee. No suggestions and props to you scrapping a whole trip on just two spreads.
I had originally intended on doing only 1 LO from this trip, my "Hood River" LO but I wanted to scrap more from the vacation, so months after finishing that 1st LO, I scrapped this summary LO... This may be my 1st ever LO that summarizes an entire trip in 2 pages - special THANKS to Cindy312 & her outstanding vacation summary LOs for inspiring me to take that plunge! I used a March 2010 PageMaps sketch for this (doubled 1-pg sketch). Thanks, PageMaps, for re-introducing me to color blocking on this one!
Journaling for those interested: "March 23-27, 2007 – Trip to Portland & Hood River, OR. Fabulous to see ESTI & her parents Jeff & Patty (& woofers Blue & Reggie). Comfy Lincoln Land rental townhome, a really enjoyable stay. Amazing views of the mountains & the Columbia River. Exploration of cool & charming Hood River & its surroundings. Snowboarding/skiing on majestic Mt. Hood (Mt. Hood Meadows)- my first ever blue (intermediate) trail! Food (at home & out). Relaxing. Long talks. Outstanding company. Family DVDs. Hot tub. Delicious North Oak Brasserie. Decorative fish w/ underbites. Multnomah Falls. Outlet shopping. Great Mediterranean at Nicholas'. Another awesome & magnificent vacation w/ Greg!"
Pardons, my scans got cropped off as usual, there's more of a margin on the sides. Also, I thought about adding little labels per pic stating what things were but I dunno...
The K&Co pp was a giftie from twinscrapbee - thanks Bren!
