40 PAGES | THE BIG APPLE

I’ve been scrapbooking a lot lately.  I have a huge stash and have been trying to slowly work my way through it by scraplifting layouts created by my favorite designers.  A while back, a friend and I went to a weekend crop and spent the entire time lifting layouts from Kelly Purkey’s Sketchbook class at Studio Calico.  Over the last few weeks, I’ve been putting the finishing touches on those layouts and plan to share some of them here.  My favorite one is the page I’m sharing today.  I love those cute skyscraper die cuts and was so happy to find the perfect photo to go with the “city” theme of this layout.

Back in 2012, I was traveling A LOT for work and went to New York more times than I can count.  On one of those trips, my husband came with me and after I was done with work, we both took a couple of days off to be tourists in NYC.  We ate, walked, saw a show and had a fantastic time.  I love how this photo captures the essence of the New York – the crowds, traffic, tall buildings and “busy-ness” of the city.  Such a wonderful memory captured on such a fun, colorful layout!
