Pineappletop

All the way to Pinetop Kins kept asking, "Are we in Pineappletop yet?" The page layout is a Page Maps design from the Page Maps book. See her great website here http://www.pagemaps.com/. I tried to make the letters look like pineapple skin by inking up a Cuttlebug folder and embossing them.

OK, so obviously I'm trying to catch up on my posting here

Another pic of a Pinetop sledding scrap page. The design is inspired by the Ni Hao Kai Lan logo. Not my favorite layout but it's pretty cute so I thought I'd include it.

Few more Pinetop pics

A few more Pinetop 2009 layouts that I love. I use this particular design quite often. It's a scraplift from an issue of Scrapbooks Etc. mag a few years back. One layout for each kids' 2009 album plus one for the family 2009 album. I particularly like Kinsey's layout. Non-traditional snow palette and all the elements just seem to complement each other perfectly.

A favorite recent layout

OK, so this isn't exactly a pic of the kids' rooms but I thought I'd post a favorite recent layout I did. So many people seem to shy away from "white" space but I LOVE it! I think it makes the layout more dramatic. Plus, I'm so drawn to patterned paper and this is a way to let the paper that I love take a starring instead of supporting roll. So, here it is. This was taken in Pinetop last month. The composition of the shot is what gets me. I always say, take a thousand pictures and one is bound to come out pretty good.
