Tropical Vacations
By Cheryl Kelly-Van Domelen
My family and I love to travel, and since Wisconsin winters can be long, we usually like to go on tropical vacations. It’s no surprise that my favorite topic to scrapbook is my daughter enjoying herself on vacation! It’s always fun to journal about the vacation so you can capture the little details that may be forgotten later. The photo in the “Wonderful” layout is taken in Montego Bay, Jamaica in May 2007. The photos in the other layouts are from our December 2007 vacation to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Of course, the beautiful girl in all the photos is my daughter, Payton.

Road Trips
By Patti Hamil
I remember this awesome Route 66 vacation we took back in 1973. I used vintage looking patterned papers and embellishments to maintain the theme of the layout. This is a great tip to remember when working with any older photos. My second layout is of a recent vacation we took to the beach. It was a simple layout to create but helps us remember what a great time we had on that vacation.

Fun in the Sun
By Sandy Pool
These layouts are a mere four of about four-hundred photos from one week at the cottage last summer. Sporadically, from time to time I'll think back on the wonderful week and print off a picture to do a page about and reminisce about the great time we had. The rest of the photos will have to wait until another moment arises or if I ever get organized enough I may give one of those photo books a try. In the meantime, with the exception of one picture of me and my wonderful pup, I think I managed to capture the essence of our vacation. A few choice pictures of my daughter and husband at different times and I have enough to prompt endless amounts of memories every time I look at them.

Disney World
By Susan Zennario
In celebration of my 40th birthday, my boyfriend took me to Walt Disney World for 5 days so that I could see the “World” all decked out for the holidays! I love anything Disney so this was the best birthday gift! I had a button indicating that it was my birthday and the CastMembers were always wishing me a Happy Birthday. Such Fun! While we were visiting the Japan Pavilion in EPCOT we were just in time to see a demonstration by taffy artist Miyuki Sugimori. This layout features her working her Taffy magic. Miyuki is the only female to have mastered the art of “Amezaiku” (Japanese Candy Artist). As she was doing her demonstration she repeatedly said the words “Taffy, Yum”, which is where I came up with the title for this layout.
