Scrapbook Layout #6 in 2026 with 1 Day Road Trip to Visit 2 Lakes

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Creativity!

why: I needed to scrapbook! I've got other day trips and a pre-birthday lunch with my two childhood friends that are waiting to be scrapped for my 2026 binder. This is for fun and is not related to any of my owned challenge blogs or the 3 DTs I'm on. 

when: this road trip was on Saturday June 13, 2026 and was scrapbooked + blogged on July 30, 2026.

what: Project #1: background base for the layout is white cardstock; hence the dash lines to give you sense of larger boundary...I should have inked the outer edge to give a tiny defining edge......

1A. Freshly Made Sketches #747; see image; I thought the circles in the sketch would work well to write the descriptions for each photo. In the sentiment area on the sketch, I used that to locate my large photo and use some white waxy chalk/paint for some waves along with some written documentation.

1B. Inspired By #400; theme of Bracelets w/ colors of light blue, light tan & light cocoa tones; there is a sketch but I'm not using it; (see image) My layout is influenced by the colors [punched circles of scrap papers] and the round shapes of the bracelets and the beads/stones
