For many of us summer means time to spend outdoors. Today’s journaling prompts, therefore, are all about the great outdoors, and your thoughts on that. Take a look at the prompts: And as always, I have to create a page of my own to journal about my own preferences in regard to the great outdoors …
It’s sad, but it’s true: it’s time to move on. That means, it’s time to say bye bye, Switzerland! After a week full of adventure, of hiking, celebrating, of resting, eating chocolate fondue (yes, with 4 kinds of Swiss chocolate, what greater indulgence could there be?), for one last time we went to see the mountains (which we ended up not seeing from the little hill we drove to, because they’d decided to hide behind the clouds), and then the call was back to the road. Bye bye Switzerland! I’m going to miss your beauty and your charms!
I’ve found another page I thought would be fun to turn into a digital scraplift. Check out this page by WaiSam: I loved the paper strips behind the photo about this page. But also the placement of the big title, the tiny little elements and the photo collage. So, I went ahead and tried to incorporate these things on my own page …

You see, everything started out just lovely. All we’d wanted was a fun day in the mountains, with a bit of hiking, and a lot of grand views of the mountains and the scenery around.

(Last year, I’d hiked the mountain ranges across from Eiger and its two companions.) So, we parked the car in Lauterbrunnen, and decided to hike up to Wengen (more like walk, because there’s no trails; just follow the road). The weather was glorious (warm, the sun shining happily all …

Look where dear cousin took me just after sunset the other day … A little mountain right near his home, and this is the view we had of a soft purple evening in the Alps … beautiful! Perfect view of Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau (Eiger, Monk, Virgin)
I’ve been creative again. This time I made a little pinwheel card. I used my Silhouette to cut out the various pieces, plus a die-cut and stamp for the sentiment. Then I assembled everything and I had a finished card! Here are a couple more details:
