Hoodoo? We do!

Another layout using photos from last summer's vacation in Alberta. The kids had such a great time exploring the hoodoo's (the strange mushroom-shaped rock formations) and I loved scrapbooking the photos. Since the area (Drumheller) is known for its dinosoars, I decided to do a dinosaur theme.

I used a variety of new (to me) embellishments on this layout - canvas letters (coloured light blue using Copic markers, then lightly distressed with ink), corrugated cardboard strips (actually scrap cardboard that I ran through my crimper) and twine (tied in the chipboard button). The dinosaurs were cut using the Accucut machine at my LSS.

Challenges:
Blogger's Challenge - summertime
Crazy Amigo Challenge - vacation
Die Cut Dreams - 4-legged animals
Fabulous Fridays - buttons (note the button in the bottom left of the first page)

Make it Monday with Kraft Outlet - favourite things (my kids and vacations; trying new techniques & products)
Paper Playtime - summer
