The first layout I created was a single page layout (shocker - I know!). At the HKMC Fall Retreat, we created some tags using the people outline stencils - and I wanted to use one of these tags (Figure 2) on my travel layout. I LOVE the Luminarte Silk Paint - fabulous!!!

One of my new purchases, is the awesome new world map from the digital section of Two Peas in a Bucket. I used my Sissex eclips to cut it out of blue cardstock. One of my friends had picked up a beautiful immigration embossing die for me - I embossed white cardstock and ran some orange ink over it... added a few pieces of paper and stickers. Normally, I don't use gray much - but I have to say I am loving it - especially with the blue and orange here. I also included one of my favorite family travel photos and I intentionally let it fade in with the paper since I wanted the girl and the world map to be the focus (Figure 3). Something else that I enjoyed using were the cling stamps "This Way" and Ali Edwards stamps "fabulous" and "TRAVEL"

My second layout was a double page using the negative of the world map I created for the single page above over the gray street paper from the Travel Girl. I wanted this layout to show how much fun we've had across the world together as a couple and now as a family. Love my title that I created on the Sissex eclips machine - "Oh, the Places You'll GO!" - (Figure 5) especially since I can create it at any size that I would like.

Using Luminarte Silk paints in Yellow Rose and paste, I painted it over a gorgeous stencil. Next, I added 13 photos taken from all over the world. I added the title and the string (Figure 6). Last touch, I added the wood plane.

My final layout was a double page about travel, but it specifically focused on the summer fun the kiddos had in our front yard in the USA. I captured some great photos while the kids played in the sprinkler (Figure 7).

I used some of the red enamel dots and blue arrows to draw attention to the title: travel {home}. These photos show how carefree the kiddos feel when they are splashing around in the water sprinkler.

I especially love the one of them dancing (Figure 8)! Awww - to be young again...
