Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #38: Vacation Memories Challenge!

Hello Friends! Back from another challenge! I took a quick break from the Lions club scrapbook (ALMOST finished!!) to enter this challenge for a small prize of $25! but that would buy a Project cart, right?!! I am so behind on scrapping our Cruise pics and this may have given me the bug to get started!!
The Challenge "is all about tackling those vacation photos before they get lost in a drawer or shoved in a box somewhere. We want you to create a scrapbook page or mini album recording one of your vacation memories from this past Summer. Weren’t able to sneak away . . . that’s okay! Find some photos from a past vacation that you haven’t scrapbooked yet and get busy! " We can’t wait to see what you create! But can you believe we didn't go anywhere this year yet!? We are going to St Louis next week for a few days but that isn't really a vacation! To me anyway! I want beaches or scenery! My husband retires in 7 weeks (yikes!) and we are planning a trip to Hawaii to celebrate 40 years of marriage and retirement. We will wait until my daughter and her family can go next July probably! Thats ok! as long as we go! So these are pics from our 35-year anniversary cruise we took with some dear friends to the Southern carribbean! These of course are just a few of the hundreds of pics we took between us and our friends. Sure wish I'd discovered scrapbooking 40 years ago!!Got a lot of catching up to do.

Thanks for stopping by! Wish me luck (its random so I have a much better chance!) and hope you have a great week ahead! Hope its cooler where you are than it is in Fort Worth! We did get a little rain but it didn't help much! But a little is better than none right?!! Have a good one!!

My submission for June Monthly Challenge: On the Road Again!

Hope y'all had a great weekend! I did! Got lots of scrapbooking done, mostly for the Lions Club Scrapbook. I didn't realize we had so much to cover!! So I've been using my gypsy a lot and still use DS and my trusty Expression along with the E2 and the Imagine to create lots of borders. The most fun was the high heel border we made for the garage sale. It came out so stinking cute we decided to save it for a woman's scrapbook next year. This year the Pres was a man and figured out he wouldn't "love" the high heels like we do! So I made a boot border. It came out much more masculine and still cute!

Well, as mentioned on the Circle blog, for a lot of us summertime means ROAD TRIP! For this challenge, they wanted us to create something . . . ANYTHING for your car! It can be a travel game, travel activity, organizer, whatever! Let your imagination run wild.
The random winner of this challenge will receive a $150 Credit to Cricut.com!

We are going to Hawaii for our 40th wedding anniversary after my husband retires in November, so this was a great opportunity to start my journal for the trip! Thats one reason I love this blog!

So I created this journal, from a "Strathmore Visual Journal"! I can't wait to start filling it! I'm going to start researching where we want to visit and keep it in this journal! I wish I'd thought of this on our first trip for our 25th anniversary, but I wasn't even into scrapbooking then!

I used "Life is a Beach" cart for all of the images and Post -It Craft Paper that I purchased at J's. Love that stuff! Just cut and stick! I have several colors and the variety pack and white, in case I want to print and cut something with the Imagine! 

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great week!
