Nashville Vacation Scrapbook Pages

Hi, I wanted to share some of my scrapbook pages from my Nashville vacation last September. I had a fabulous time there! It was my 2nd vacation by myself, and I have to say, it is the best way to vacation! (For short trips!) I do whatever I want, eat when I want and where I want! It's the best!

Starting from the top picture:

I went to Cooters Place in Nashville, I grew up watching the Dukes of Hazard so this was so neat to see!

Dukes of Hazard Museum in Nashville - wow, who knew there was so much memorabilia!!?? I was amazed. So fun to see all the Dukes of Hazard stuff they had on display. They also had TV's set up playing re-runs of the show.

Chihuly Glass Display at the Botanical Gardens - this is the same artist that did the glass display in the ceiling of the Bellagio in Las Vegas. It's blown glass art, and it is gorgeous! They had a special display in the Botanical Gardens where the glass art was lit up at night. This was so gorgeous!

Dog Marley - walking down the streets in downtown Nashville, I came across a man who had two dogs sitting on his motorcycle. Both the dogs had dreadlocks, and he had their hair dyed!! They were so well behaved, not sure I would have been in their position.

Predators vs Caps game - My reason for going to Nashville! I saw the Caps play in a pre-season game against the Predators. My first time there and in that arena. So much fun, and the Caps won! I met two other Caps fans there, we had a blast hanging out after the game and I still keep in touch with both of them!

Fall Creek Falls Park, I drove 2 hours to reach this park, it was gorgeous! I crossed a suspension bridge for the first time! I spent the day hiking, it was so fun!

Jack Daniels Distillery - so interesting! I took the tour of the distillery, and I would love to go back and do it again. Beautiful town and a really cool experience!
Have a great week!

I got a lot of the sketches for my pages from Amy's 4x6 scrapbook sketch blog. I did not crop any of my photos! Quick and simple!

Have a great week!

Climie vs Neuvy

One more scrapbook page from my Austin, TX trip! This is a page I made to show the goaltenders from each team. Climie is (was?) the goaltender for the Texas Stars, and Neuvirth "Neuvy" is (was? - not sure what next season will bring) the goaltender for the Hershey Bears. I found this hockey rink paper at my local AC Moore. I cut the words from my cricut, matted the 4x6 photos on some orange cardstock and that was it! Super easy page but I love how it turned out. It's one of my favorite layouts from my scrapbook. I put a little bit of journaling in the upper right hand corner. You can click on the picture to enlarge it and read the journaling. Thanks for stopping by!

Hockey Scrapbooking

These are a few more pages from my TX vacation scrapbook. These pictures are from the Calder Cup Final (AHL) game that I went to see in Austin TX. I had so much journaling on my other hockey pages, explaining what the pics are from, I thought it would be redundant to add journaling to these pages. The titles pretty much describe the pictures. I got the sketch ideas for the pages from this blog. I used my Cricut to cut the titles. Thanks for stopping by my blog! I appreciate it!

Scrapbook Pages

Hi, These are a couple more scrapbook pages that I made of my trip to Austin, TX in June. For the first page, I cut the title with my Cricut and used one 4x6 photo. On the left & right sides of the page, I dry embossed a wavy pattern. I thought the page looked too plain without it. The journaling says "New haircut & highlights - Frenchy's Salon, Austin TX." The second page shows a single 4x6 photo with me and a few friends I met while in Austin. I talked to these ladies on the Texas Stars facebook page prior to my trip to Austin, and then we met up during the hockey game. Everyone is so nice in TX, it's easy to make friends there! I dry embossed a tag and journaled on the tag. I cut out the title on my Cricut. Hope you are having a great week!

Cedar Park Center

Hi, Thanks for stopping by my blog! I've been working on some scrapbook pages to highlight photos from my trip to Austin, TX in June. This is a 2 page 12x12 layout I did on the hockey arena, Cedar Park Center. I don't consider myself a scrapbooker, but I am really happy with how this came out! This layout was really quick & easy to put together. I used two pages of patterned paper, some tan cardstock that I inked the edges with brown ink on, and a few embossed elements. I used a Lasting Impressions brass template and embossed a few stars and the Cedar Park Arena title. All the photos on this pages are 4x6, so no cropping involved there. I got the idea for the sketch at this blog. She has some great sketches that are wonderful for making quick pages using 4x6 photos.

The journaling says "Cedar Park Arena is the home of the Texas Stars. 2009-2010 was the Stars 1st season. They have a great fan base already. I saw the Hershey Bears face the Stars for Games 4 & 5 of the Calder Cup finals. The Bears won both games! Austin TX June 2010." It is really hard to photograph 2 page layouts! I hope you are able to see my layout okay! I feel like the picture doesn't do it justice!
