My Destinations projects showcase photos from my honeymoon...eleven years ago! These photos have been sitting in photo albums just waiting for a kit like this to appear. I only wish I would have had a travel journal back then to keep track of all our activities and memories.

Let's see what I've done so far with the Destinations kit:

"Hugs & Kisses From Florida" 12x12 Scrapbook Layout

"Ft. Lauderdale" 12x12 Scrapbook Layout

"Mai Kai" 12x12 Scrapbook Layout

"D is for Destination Dan Marino Stalker" 12x12 Scrapbook Layout

Oh yes, we had quite an adventure in Florida during our honeymoon and there will be more layouts to come! I plan to finish my honeymoon scrapbook album during Layout A Day in May and there will be plenty of storytelling.

I also wanted to share a new technique I've been using on my photos. I scrape the photo edges with scissors:

Here's another look at two photos on a completed scrapbook page:

To save paper, I cut out the middle part of a double-sided sheet of cardstock, leaving a one inch thick border. I put the center part aside for later use and used the border for the "Mai Kai" layout and then flipped it over to reveal the other side of the cardstock and made the "D is for Destination Dan Marino Stalker" layout. (Funny story and I'll tell it later in a future blog post.)
