The clouds are punched with the scallop circle punch from Stampin' Up and then cut in half. I outlined the puffy part of the clouds with a brown marker to highlight them a little better.
The Trees are punched with the Double Photo Corner punch from Stampin' Up and then layered on top of eachother to create the "Tree top."

Everything else is cut by hand with paper cutter, craft blade etc. I had alot of fun puting this together. Normally, I would go right for my Cricut on something like this... but thinking outside the box and using punches was great.
I am also entering my layout into the "Fun In the Sun Ch." 9 over at Whimsical Wednesday . Besides showing "Fun in the Sun", you also have to include STAMPING on your layout. I have a couple stamps above and below 2 of the photos. "Way to go" and "Bee Happy."
Believe it or not... this was an almost 80 degree day. We headed for the Trees, Hills and the Falls! Our first hike with our kids that we didn't have to worry about Baby packs, Jogger strollers or complaining. :-) Lots of water, snacks and stops to check out everything around us. They made it 4 1/2 miles to the Mid-Falls point. We will wait a few years for the trek to the top. It's another 4 miles one way and very steep switchbacks.
All in all a fun accomplishing day and I am happy to share with you.

THIS IS WONDERFUL, i loooove the paper piecing background--and I have never thought of using a corner punch for pine trees, that is so clever! The colors, and the way you put the photos in the middle just adds the perfect touch!
I love the use of the stamp set! Very cute. Using the photo corner punch to create the trees is also very clever. Love this fun layout!

Fantastic 2 page layout! Love how the photos are the focus of it all but yet all the surrounding details really capture the essence of the camping experience and prop up the photos. Wonderful job.

This is so pretty. I like how you used the punch for the clouds how clever. I love how you used a cloud for your journaling spot too! What great pictures! Thank you for joining us at Whimsical Wednesdays.
I love how you have such a wonderful and fun scene, and then all the photos are together in one place. It really works well for my eye to be able to travel to different elements of the page.
