The Story: Our first night home after our Honeymoon. Read the Picture Story here.
Another Wedding Layout not in the Wedding Scrapbook: By the time I finished scrapbooking our honeymoon in the wedding scrapbook, I was d-o-n-e. I knew I wanted to tell this story but saved it for another time. It’s sort of a “return to regular life” layout and that story is better told here in our “regular life” scrapbook.
Inspiration: This layout by Geralyn Sy (original post here). The photos I worked with weren’t of great quality, and I like how the borders of patterned paper really popped them.
Hand-Drawn Hawaii: Well, more like traced (method here), but I was going for a hand-drawn look. At the last minute, I added the dashes by hand to make it look Indiana Jones-esque.
Fonts: Klinic Slab Bold | Tools: Epson Stylus R2000 (photos), Silhouette SD (headline) | Supplies: American Crafts/Amy Tangerine/Get Around, American Crafts/Chap/Mike, Crate Paper/Storyteller/ Tomorrow, Webster’s Pages/Clean & Simple/Sunday Picnic/Poppy Fields (papers) | Ephemera: none.
Almost Never Clever 
Very clever! I love the dashes. It visually “brings you back home.” Your pages inspire me to do more than “get it done.” Often, I don’t take time to do fun or interesting things because I only see the pages that are not yet done instead of the one in front of me. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
There will always be projects unfinished. While I admit sometimes the pile to do gets to me, I always remind myself that it’s a hobby and I should have fun with it. Thanks for the kind words!
Your layout is so nice—the design is simple, yet effective!
Thank you!
Love the Hawaii outline! That’s the perfect touch on this page.
May I ask where you put your ephemera (I see it in your supply list)? I feel kind of silly, but I can’t seem to locate it on the layout.
Whoops! Thanks for catching that. There is no ephemera on this page. I was copying and pasting from another blog post 🙂
oh! haha! sorry for calling you out 😉
Ha, no worries at all – I’m glad someone caught it!
This may be a dumb question, but I recall you use the Pioneer 11×14 scrapbooks with the paper pages, right? So is your layout the whole 11×14 size, or is it smaller, then you paste the pink paper onto the scrapbook page?
Don’t worry. No dumb questions here. The layout is the entire 11×14 Pioneer page. Depending on how my camera is behaving, it can appear pinkish but it’s a nice neutral buff color in person. All of my work is done directly on the page that will go into the scrapbook, meaning I have to decide the order of everything before I start because there’s no going back after I glue things down. I use both sides of the page as well, so the next layout I show you is actually glued to the back of this page. Does that make sense? Let me know if it doesn’t 🙂
Got it! Thanks 🙂
