Want a chance to win an online scrapbooking class with Garden Girl Shimelle Laine? Love Your Pictures, Love Your Pages starts July 5th and you are going to LOVE it! And....it's for any scrapbooker....digital, hybrid and paper! Make sure to leave a comment here on this blog post before next Tuesday to be entered into a drawing for a free spot in the class. :)
Speaking of photos and scrapbooking....I thought I'd show you a layout that I created recently for Two Peas. Nick (my husband) and I recently took an impromptu trip to Chicago....without the kids. We were in desperate need of some together time and so we just kind of ran away from home. Of course, I took lots of pictures but this has to be my favorite. It just reminds me of the special time that we had together.
Journaling reads: We ran away from home and it was good. We dropped everything and took off to Chicago with no advance planning. We needed that time to get away from our everyday lives and just reconnect on many levels. Our lives have been so full lately but we hadn't taken any time to work on "us". We took our marriage and our friendship for granted and lost touch. We left Tuesday, April 13th and booked a hotel in the heart of Chicago. We walked downtown, went to Navy Pier, went to the Field Museum, visited the parks and ate some of the best food around....we laughed, we cried, we held hands and we loved each other through every single moment. We vowed to stop every once in awhile and take some time for us.
I played with the opacity on almost every layer for this layout. For the photograph, I overlaid it with Vinnie's plaid paper, dialed down the opacity to 20% and then took my eraser tool with the opacity set at 70% and erased the plaid off our legs and feet.
Supplies: Vinnie Pearce - Bucket Full of Sunshine. Font - Autumn Leaves Modern Type
I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! Don't forget to check out Shimelle's class and leave a comment here for your chance to win a spot in it. :)

Great pic. We went to Maui 2 summers ago. When we got home there was a photo of the 4 of us from the knees down. When I saw it my first thought was why did she leave that on the camera? However after thinking about it I used it as the cover to a snapfish book letting it tell of where our feet have taken us. Can you imagine the luck of 8 feet and legs in a picture being usable? I think not luck.
