Climb

I'm in a Spring Break kind of mood. Two weeks from now we'll be on our annual Spring Break with the kids - this year the destination is the British Virgin Islands. So I had better hurry and finish my scrappin' from last year's trip before I get too overwhelmed. Here's a one-page layout I did this weekend from our trip to Hawaii last year. I used the new CoreColor Cardstock from Coredinations that I bought at Scrapbooks-Plus. I'm usually a patterned paper gal, so starting with (and only using) cardstock was way different for me. But once I started sanding that color off, I really had fun. The only thing I didn't like was the dust. I was worse than glitter in my workspace. But the rough look of the green and black really complimented the photo. I used a few Petaloo Flora Doodles to top the page off. And I used a number of green and black Candy Dots from Pebbles, Inc. These are my new favorite. They give the look of brads with out punching holes (if you misplace one, it's easy to move it!) They come in all colors and I just haven't bought enough yet! I love them!

Hopefully I can finish up these Hawaiian pages in the next few weeks. I've bought some great paper from K&Company to take along for my daily journaling of our Spring Break '09!
