12 x 12 | ROAD TRIP

Hello Pretty Little Studio fans! It’s Monique here sharing a “Summer Vibes” layout. Although Fall & Winter are my favorite seasons I’m really looking forward to a little bit of sun and so I decided to scrap a “sunny” photo and use the colorful and vibrant Summer Vibes collection.

These photos were taken quite a while ago, in 2009, but as they bring back lots of happy memories I still wanted to scrap them.

At the time we were staying in a hotel in Palm Springs and made a day trip to the Joshua Tree National Park. We had never seen anything like this! So beautiful! After only 5 minutes in the car my kids started complaining and saying they wanted to go outside and see it all for “real” (my youngest had spotted a turtle and wanted to pet it, they also wanted to touch a cactus but I thought that that wasn’t such a good idea, lol). The Summer Vibes collection was just perfect for these photos, especially the paper with the cactuses (called Flower Festival) and the cactus die-cuts!

I so adore this colorful 3″x 4″ journaling card and that fun flair button!

Except for cactus die-cuts there are also a lot of great other die-cuts in this collection!
