Inspiration

Scrap happy means having tons of ideas and not enough time to get them done before you forget them.
I have done that sooooo many times.

Sometimes when you sit down inspiration doesn't just dawn on you. For me inspiration for page layouts comes when I am driving or in the shower, not exactly ideal times for creating or scrapping.
There is a website I have found that has some great ideas. I don't like to copy layouts exactly, what fun is that? But at least sometimes it gets me started!

this was the inspiration for mine...

We got to visit out west this summer. I'll have to admit I knew about Route 66 but until you experience the actual road and places surrounding it do you realize that part of Americana is fading away. When I travel I am more of a "nature" photog. I like the flowers, trees, and landscape of a place. That makes a place special and different from where I reside. So that's why on this layout you see the nature of the road.

There are museums dedicated to the preservation of the highway. The one we visited was in Oklahoma.
Here take a look

I really learned so much and remember some things my dad had told me.

My friend, Lori McCluskey sells Close to my Heart products and before we left on our road trip adventure I decided to purchase this paper set from her. And did it hit the Crop Spot! That feeling when you realize that you have the PERFECT paper and embellishments to make your layout the bomb! So this it the resulting double page layout....

I took pictures of the outside of the museum and kept the entrance sticker that we wore as part of  admittance. I keep everything...we'll discuss that later... ;) But I love the layout and even though the paper is busy, using a dark color to frame my pictures and keeping the pictures to a minimum really helps to keep it from my your eyes just jump around.

So your query question today...
"what kind of scenery do you like to photography/scrap?"
