Coastal Oregon

I haven’t given up on scrapping, but life is throwing a few curves right now and I’m busier than I expected. I’m hoping to get a few more pages done before the end of the month, but I’m happy with what’s gotten done. I don’t often do two-page layouts, but our trip up the Oregon coast was so fabulous, I wanted to include more than just one or two photos. Once I get more photos printed, I’ll put them in some divided page protectors behind this layout. That’s worked great in the past.

Here’s a better look at each page separately.

The journaling reads: 

You would think we would have been better prepared for the beautiful Oregon coast since we’ve driven up much of California’s coast. But we were truly amazed by the stunning Oregon coast. Sunny, blue skies, and relatively warm temperatures made for perfect sightseeing. We started in Bandon on Tuesday afternoon and drove as far as Cannon Beach for lunch on Thursday. Seen here the lighthouses at Yaquina Bay, Yaquina Head, and Hecata Head (covered in mesh for repairs,) crashing waves along the coast near Yachats, the view from Cape Perpetua Information Center, fog lifting outside Reedsport, and the beach at Bandon.

I used some old (but still favorite) grid papers from Scenic Route, two journaling circles from Studio Calico, and two stickers from an old Deja View Travel Sticker sheet. The alpha is a gray Studio Calico which I just love. This is probably as CAS a layout as there is!
