Good Morning! Have you noticed one of Basic Grey's newest lines, PB&J, yet? It's one of the first lines you'll see when you walk in the front door at VIP. Did you love the bright, summery colors, but were a bit intimidated by the busy patterns? Did you think the picnic theme was adorable....but weren't sure how you'd use picnic themed embellishments on your pages? I thought the same thing....at first!
My husband took Ella camping last week, for the first time. And Cohen and I joined them for supper and fishing before heading home to our own, bug-free beds.
Because this was a first for our family, capturing the kids' excitement over each little aspect of camping was very important to me. The tent going up was no exception.
This log was directly behind the camp site, and just behind that is the Whitewater River. We had just arrived when I got this picture of the kids. It's so sweet, even though they are both too pre-occupied to look and smile at the camera. That's okay- because that's part of the memory.
Oh, and Ella wouldn't typically look like she's ready for a fashion shoot in the wilderness, but (as luck would have it :)) we picked her up from school and then headed straight to the campsite.
Some of my favorite pictures were of the 15 minutes we spent in the river "fishing". I'll scrap a bunch of these photos because they turned out so good! The title of this one is "Taking your Own Path." And my journaling says "taking your own path, that is so you, sweetie." It really is! I was helping Cohen and when I looked up, Ella was well on her way to finding her own fishing spot. Brave as could be....until it was time to re-trace her steps and get back to us!
So, as you can see, "PB&J" is perfect for camping photos, too. I also think it would be perfect for carnival or fair pictures. I can't wait to scrap the rest of my camping pictures- I may have enough pages to make it a camping album.
Thanks for stopping by! I have art journal pictures to share next time. See you then!
