End of Summer on the Canadian Paper Trail

I created a layout with a "Back to School/End of Summer" theme.  My layout is featured today on the Canadian Paper Trail, a new blog featuring Canadian paper crafters from across the country. 

At the end of every summer - my hubby & I get away for a few days (usually golfing) while our parents watch the kids.  Having even just a few days with just the two of us is the best way to 'reconnect' and I look forward to our getaway all summer long!  This layout features photos taken last summer in Canmore, Alberta.   The layout design is the Scrappiest Sketch #74.

Materials Used (all Close to My Heart, except as noted):
Back Country Level 2 Paper Pack (retired)
Rustic Alphabet Acrylic Stamp Set
Cardstock: Barn Red, Autumn Terracotta
Ink: Barn Red, Outdoor Denim
Other: Mini Alphas from my stash

After completing this layout - I still had more photos from the trip, but I didn't really want to do another layout.  The perfect solution: photo storage pages!  I love these!  I can keep all the photos from my trip together in my scrapbook album - but I don't have to do layouts for every single picture.
Here a few of the additional photo pages I filled with more snapshots from last year's anniversary getaway (sorry about the photos, difficult not to have a glare when photographing page protectors!):



Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy the last few days of YOUR summer!
