This is a scrapbook page that my mother made of our last year's vacation. I love nature and took plenty of pictures of our trip to Abram's Fall in Cades Cove, TN. She always gets my extra copies of the pictures that she wants. When I saw what she had done with them I was simply amazed. I never would have thought to make a complete 12 x 12 page from pictures. Just in case I ever get around to making my own, I had to have a picture of her's because I don't see doing this from memory. GREAT JOB, MAMA! You are amazing!
TFL!

I love that idea! I always have too many pictures of one every and don't like having to choose! Next time I'll use this idea and make the pictures the bg paper and highlight some of the others too!

What a beautiful page! And what a great idea for a layout!

Well, mama apparently set out to capture God's art work, and she did it! The flowers and foliage, winding path, bridge, steps, and the falling/trickling water through the center of it all. I'd say she achieved balance! I love the idea of using the actual pictures to make up her page. Can't imagine any kind of paper that would compliment this page any better than her chosen layout!

Oh how pretty!! I love that there isn't a lot of stuff on the page. It really allows you to see the beauty of the pictures, and enjoy the scenery! GREAT JOB!! I will CASE this idea for sure!!!

The focus of any scrapbook page should be the photos, and this is the best example of that idea that I've seen! The page makes me want to go hiking in the mountains NOW!! Great job!

WOW! What a great layout. The flow of the page is so smooth. This is an awesome idea. Can't imagine these beautiful pictures displayed in any other way. I think Mama needs to be teaching some scrapbooking classes. I think I may have to CASE this one.
