A Quick Layout

I really want to get back to scrapbooking, so I joined Club Scrap's Summer Camp in the hopes of getting organized and caught-up.  It's a month-long "competition" with incentives for creating layouts.  I try hard not to get too caught up in the competition and focus on enjoying myself.  I spent some time this afternoon finding and organizing my completed layouts and my photos "to be scrapped."  I'm pretty caught-up through 2009 and have completed a few layouts for 2010, so it shouldn't be too hard to get back up to speed.  After doing all the prep work, I wanted to actually complete a layout, so I used Shimelle's idea of arranging still life photos around portraits to complete this two page layout about the nature hike my DH and I took earlier this spring.  I really like how it turned out.

    I really like that idea of Shimelle's, combining the still life and portrait shots - it works absolutely perfectly here!

    These portraits and still life work really well on a page celebrating the outdoors.I like the way you and DH are still the main focus of the pages.
    The background card is perfect too...did you stamp that?

    I like it too! I have done some all nature layouts that I like, but the portraits of you and your husband really make this a stand-out page. Our book group read Bridge of Sighs. It is a slow start and I didn't like it as much as Empire Falls, but we ended up enjoying the book.

    My reason for joining PSL as well! I like the flower photos of different sizes - sets off the LO and other photos nicely.
