I have been a busy girl!

...in the last few days trapped by temperatures nearing 100 degrees I have spent the late morning and early afternoons happily catching up on my scrapbooking.  I have completed over 20 pages in the last week!  that might be a record...but, many of them were simple pages for my Travel Album. 

I still had to do our pictures from Spring Break to New Orleans to be all caught up on my Travel book so I finally got to use this fun travel themed kit that I got from Apron Strings a long time ago!! It was the Bigger-than-a-Breadbox kit from July 2009 and I have been wanting to use the cool map paper for a while.

I had some many pictures from the different places that we went that I decided to group the pictures into:
The Zoo
The Aquarium
The Insectarium

and therefore it is a "long layout"  *I usually stick to a two-page layout for every event so this one is long for me*

This is the "cover" page.  The Little Yellow Bicycle clear strip was attached so I cut the two circles up and moved them apart - then I used a red alpha letter "X" to mark the spot around New Orleans and used the picture I took as my Title.


Below are the two 'inside' Zoo pages.... 


And then more 'inside" aquarium.  On this layout I used a page protector that has a 'swing out' side because I had just too many pictures for a one-page, but I didn't want to do another two-page layout.  These fun page protectors make it easy to add a little more room.  *the photo has a glare due to the page protector. 

Above is the flap open and below is the flap closed (like it would be in your album)


And then I went with a whole new color scheme since these pictures from the Insectarium were so colorful and fun and ended up using 4 different paper lines (scraps) to make up this page.
