Week 1 Layout Linky - Earning the Badge Layout

I completed my week 1 layout for the 52 Layouts a Year Challenge! Yay, 1 down, only 51 to go. Let me encourage you, if I can do this in the midst of moving to a new home, all of you can do it, too. I used pictures from our Grand Canyon trip in 2007, and here's something fun I did for this layout: I scanned the picture of the Junior Ranger badge from Adrian's certificate and sent it to Costco to be printed as a photo, then cut it out and used it as a design element on my layout. It's a fun way to add memorabilia that would be too bulky to include in its original format.



Recipe:
Classmate Alpabet stamp set
Back Country Level 2 papers & My Stickease
Goldrush & Outdoor Denim cardstock
Goldrush & Outdoor Denim ink
Outdoor Denim marker
DE Monograms "B", "A", "D", "G", "E"
Barn Red Bigger Brads
Natural hemp

So I came over to your blog tonight to find a 2 photo page (using your labels) and this one popped up. The pics I have out are specifically about earning a Scout badge, so I'm giggling at the irony. I may Scraplift the entire layout all the way down to the title :)... Thanks for the inspiration!
