On Our Way, Let's Go Vacay Layout

Hello! I am sharing a layout I designed with the gorgeous Happy Travels collection by Simple Stories. As a family, we love to travel and take vacations together. It is always an opportunity for good memories and lots of photos to scrapbook. For me, the vacation starts the moment we leave our home. Last year, we visited California to celebrate our little daughter's birthday.  On our way to the airport, I took this photo of us in the car to document our happy faces, and I'm documenting it in this layout full of textures and cute details. Let's take a look at the layout while I tell you how I made it! 

Woof, that face Layout

Yay! Softball Layout

It was a great experience for the whole family and now I can document those memories with the beautiful Softball Simple Set.
