Over the past year the focus in my house has been on plans to celebrate DD1's 'big' birthday [and her friend's one].....she knew exactly what she wanted to do.....an epic 2 week visit to San Francisco, Los Angeles and Hawaii.
The focus has been on.....when to go.....connecting the flights....where to stay....places to see....trips to go on....fun to have.
She was determined to see and do as much as humanly possible in 2 weeks....so we had a pretty exciting [and exhausting] schedule.
But she also wanted to focus on having as much fun as possible....and fun she did have....plus apparently in Hawaii having a British accent greatly increases the amount of fun a girl can have!!
So this is the first page made for what will be a massive album.
I wanted a large 'in your face' title...and found some fun, felt letters in my stash.
I also wanted the 'theme' and photos to be the most important part of the page......so no patterned paper apart from the background....just a few flattish embellishments and appropriate quotesI now need to focus on making the rest of the album......and DD1 has caught the travel bug....and is going to focus on saving up for a couple of years so that she can take a year out to travel!!!
Jennifer is giving away a brilliant WRK Insta Album Kit.....enter to win by commenting on all the blogs in the hop.....the giveaway closes on Sunday 24th May at 10pm [UK time]...so you've got plenty of time....and it's open internationally.
I'll also be giving a little scrapbook related prize to one randomly chosen commentator here...also closing Sunday,24th.
To continue on the hop please pop on to Ruth's lovely blog.......and if you get lost head back to Jennifers blog.

Brilliant! I love the bright background and how you didn't use too much pattern, and the big title really stands out! Thank you so much for joining in the FYC&S Blog Hop! x
Be careful! I was just doing one epic album for our silver anniversary trip and it's turned into four as I created so many layouts! And that's four d ring AC albums! Have great fun creating it and reliving all those memories.
