Simple Scrapper August Premium Membership Blog Hop

I particularly enjoyed scrapping with this month’s Simple Scrapper Premium Membership templates. I prefer to scrap seasonally, so I used photos and memories from previous summer vacations in my layouts. (We’re having a stay-vacation this year.)

For the single-photo template, I chose a photo from a 2003 vacation to Maui. We met up with photographer Rick Larsen in Kaanapali at sunset for a family photo shoot.

With the two-photo template, I scrapped photos from a vacation to Martha’s Vineyard in 1999. To be honest, it’s hard for me to tell if these photos are from 1998 or 1999, but Paul happens to be wearing a hat in the photo that he received from my aunt in April 1999. Thank goodness for clothing clues!

For the multi-photo template, I scrapped our tour of the Eiffel Tower in 2007. The photo of the tower worked well in the tall photo spot.
