Scrappy camping

This week has been crazy busy, so I was looking forward to a relaxing weekend of camping with my family.  Since I was running out of time to complete this week's sketch challenge for Scrapbook Steals, I decided to pack a bag and take my scrappy stuff on the road with me.  The hardest part of scrapping away from home is figuring out what I'm going to need.  For this week's challenge, I picked photos and a hodgepodge of papers and decided to work with what tools I took along.  I spread out at the picnic table and scrapped my afternoon away.  I found that scrapbooking outdoors combines two of my favorite things. The only downside is the occasional gust of wind that blew my stuff around. 

After forcing myself to work with the few supplies I had, I came up with this layout:

I love that this week's sketch was a 2 pager.  I have sooo many photos and have a terrible time putting just one photo on a page.  This week, Kristy Lee read my mind and gave me great inspiration when she designed this 2 pg. sketch:

I also managed to work in another quick layout while I had my mess out.  I've come to love the giant photos that are showing up on scrapbook pages, so I decided to create a few enlargements of my own.  I ordered a 12x16 photo from Sam's Club (for less than $3), knowing it would be cut down to fit on my scrapbook page.  I paired a wonderful photo of my boys and their cousins with my super fave collection of the summer, Summer Fresh by Simple Stories, and came up with this quicky layout:
