The Vegas Strip - Assorted Sights - Quick & Easy Layout



Guess who is back to scrapping Vegas?  Oh yeah - MFK (my friend Kathy) and I have a zillion photos still to scrap. For this layout I gathered a selection of photos that I wanted to include in my scrapbook but I did not want to do a complete layout around each photo.  The obvious solution?  The Strip!  I used the Destinations cartridge and the "The Strip" cut as a title. 


On the left page of the layout I included photos of my husband and MFK's husband admiring the lady on the Treasure Island ship, the MGM lion, the Hard Rock Cafe's signature guitar, and Harrah's.  I embellished with Jolee's.


On the above layout I included photos of the husbands standing under the hugified stripper woman (disclaimer we DID NOT go into the strip bar, we just photographed them with the woman while we waited to be seated at our show - the FAB FOUR - next door), the Eiffel Tower by day, and the front of the Paris Casino.  And again I used Jolee's to embellish. 


As the title set says, I promised a Quick & Easy layout.  The paper I used was ordered from Scrap Your Trip.  Julie carries a huge selection of paper and embellies with which to scrap a trip to almost anywhere.  The paper you see above is the backside of the paper I used for the layout.  I took an extra sheet of the paper and made to angle cuts and used the "Only in Vegas" side of the paper as a decorative element on my pages.  After affixing the large angle cuts to the pages I just had to mat my photos on red cardstock, cut my title and embellish with my Jolee's.  This truly was a super quick and very easy layout.

Las Vegas Paris Casino Layout


I spent Friday - Sunday at my friends Sally's and Beth's lake house enjoying a scrapping weekend get away.  "My Friend Kathy" (MFK) and I began working on our Las Vegas scrapbooks.  I managed to nearly complete 11 double page spreads (22 pages) as well as work on my BBTB2 project.  I thought it was a wonderfully productive weekend.

The first layout I am sharing is the Paris Casino.  I really liked the decor and of course the Eiffel Tower provided for fabulous evening photos of the strip. I conviced MFK to use the same cuts on her Paris page. 


I used two cartridges to complete this layout, Destinations and Summer in Paris, both of which were delivered to my hotel in Vegas by Terri of TerriKrafts.  I cannot say enough kind words about Terri!!!  Who else provides Casino delivery service for free???


I used the shadow cut of Summer in Paris' Eiffel tower to create a layered back ground on the left page.  I cut the detailed tower for the right page. 


I am just amazed at how many cuts I will be able to use from Destinations for this one trip.  Destinations turned out to be a great investment.
