Family vacation... the album begins

I have started an 8x8 album to record our 2013 family vacation.  We were away a full 5 days - the longest vacation we have had for over four years.  I took TONS of photographs and I plan to print up a bunch every few weeks to add to the album.  Hopefully it'll be done before year's end!

This layout is based on a sketch I found at Chic Tags for their Challenge Sunday:



It looks a lot brighter on screen than it does in real life! It's a bit of a change from my normal pages, but I enjoyed the challenge of using all the circles.  I personalised the page by adding handmade flowers and doodling around the edge.

Materials:
Bazzill cardstock
American Crafts pearl brads
Jillibean Soup Sprouts journalling tag
Lil Davis Away We Go journalling sticker
Carolee's Creations AdornIt alphabet stickers
Lots of paper scraps - Kaisercraft, Daisy Bucket, We R Memory Keepers, 7Gypsies, Scenic Route, Doodlebug (and a couple I can't remember)
