Water by Aliza

12 x 12 | materials cardstock (Bazzill Basics Paper) + journal cards (Ali Edwards Designs) + wood veneers (Studio Calico, Ali Edwards) + fonts (TravelingTypewriter)
A Note from Aliza
I am a pretty straight, on the grid scrapper. So setting all the elements on an angle is pretty wild and crazy for me. But I love the way it turned out.
The Vacationers by Lisa

8.5 x 11 | materials cardstock (Staples) + patterned paper (Pink Paislee) + card (Project Life kit Happy place) + stamp (Studio Calico) + washi (Panduro Hobby)
A Note from Lisa
This layout came together by itself. It follows such a simple design I could use it for every page. It makes me happy!

Loved This Adventure by Aliza

12 x 12 | materials cardstock (Bazzill Basics) + patterned paper (Kesi Art, Kaiser Craft) + stickers (Fancy Pants Designs, Pretty Little Studio) + fonts (traveling typewriter)
A Note from Aliza
We did not travel much this summer, but this hike was quite glorious, and it was enough to make us feel like we were on vacation.
Journaling
Storm King Mountain. This was our second time hiking here, and first time with all 4 of us, completing a whole trail. There was climbing up and down rocks, amazing views, twisty trails in a tree covered forest, some exhaustion and crankiness, then an even better view from what we think was the top of the mountain, and then more climbing down rocks to get back down. Everyone (!) enjoyed the challenge. Sam brought his Go Pro and has been helping with some of the picture-taking responsibilities.
September Fun Fact
One son is leaving to study in Israel for the year, and one is beginning high school. How time flies.
I Didn't Love Paris by Amy
12 x 12 | materials patterned paper (Pink Paislee) + alphabet stickers (Heidi Swapp) + font (Elsie Swash Caps Black) + gold pen (Pilot Juice Gel)
A Note from Amy
After I wrote this journaling I thought "Could I sound any more whiny? Complaining about being in Paris?" but I stayed with it because it was my authentic response. On a design note, I love adding gold (or silver, or grey) lines to fussy cut flowers. It adds a little extra pop and helps it to feel like it's more mine.
