Just Be Happy

Hey, everyone! I’m sharing  a mini album I did to take to our friends when we went to Belize last month. They were here visiting in March and these were the photos I took then, and I’m using the album kit that Joanne taught at the MFT retreat in May.

The cover has a sentiment from Chalkboard Greetings and is perfect for this kind of album. The flower was made with Die-namics Botanical Beauty with Die-namics Royal Leaves and a Razzle Berry button tied with hemp cord. The scalloped layer was done with Die-namics Mini Album Square Scallop STAX and the strip across was cut from Die-namics Blueprints 2.

The first fold out is of our friend, Marta, seeing snow in person for the first time :) We were on our way to Natural Bridge and stopped for breakfast—this snow was piled up from a couple of weeks before. My DH was advising her :) The mat was cut with Die-namics Mini Album Bracket STAX.

The right side is all of us on the way to lunch at Chateau Morrisette. This was taken at Lover’s Leap on the Blue Ridge Mountains. The little camera accent is from Die-namics LLD Accent It – Cute Cameras, it’s framed with a Die-namics LLD Insert It – InstaFrame, and the sentiment is from DC Behind the Camera Sentiments.

On this fold-out, on the left is a Die-namics Behind the Camera, along with a Die-namics Heart STAX, and another sentiment from DC Behind the Camera Sentiments.

On the right you’ll see us with more friends having lunch at Chateau Morrisette. Behind the journaling card is a Die-namics LLD Accent It – Story Titles die cut.

This is the back cover. The day we went to Natural Bridge, we stopped at the Roanoke Transportation Museum on the way home. This is my DH on the left and Steve on the right in front of an old locomotive engine.

This fold-out is of our visit to Monticello in Charlottesville. On the left, the sentiment is from LLD Document It – Captured Memories and the flower is a Die-namics Winter Rose with a Lemon Drop button center.

On the right is everyone except me at Natural Bridge. The sentiment, from Die-namics LLD Accent It – Story Starters is clipped on with a mini clothes pin.

And the final fold-out. On the left is us having lunch with a couple more friends: Josh and Alberto. This sentiment is from Chalkboard Greetings.
