Happy Thursday, everyone☺️!
Today I have this travel layout to show you based on CSI Scrapbooking Challenge ‘s second August challenge. Do have a look on our blog. So much beautiful inspiration to be found there.

This is from a trip we had to Trondheim, to celebrate our daughter’s birthday when she studied photography. My mum gave her my late father’s camera, which was something I really wanted to document🤍.

Beautiful papers and products from 49 and Market and cool, letters from Sizzix | Die-cutting and Embossing .

Ronda. Here with my solution to CSI Case 482 ❤️
OH! THE PLACES WE’LL GO

Marseille, France
August 19, 2025

Just two people…
wandering unfamiliar streets,
finding colourful corners,
stealing a kiss,
and collecting memories.

At the time, this was simply another stop on an unforgettable family adventure.

Looking back now, it feels like so much more.

Just two days later, David would ask Chelsea to spend forever with him.

This photo captures the beautiful in-between…
before the question,
before the ring,
before their next chapter began.

Sometimes the best journeys don’t just take us somewhere new…
they lead us home to the person we’re meant to share life with!

We hope you share what you create with this months challenge!

🌈 Guest Detective Spotlight: Nicole Lacoste 🌼
Nicole’s layout for Case File No. 482 is a radiant celebration of travel and discovery — a perfect fit for the Travel Journal theme. 🕵️‍♀️✈️

Her circular composition bursts with watercolor energy, flowing from cool turquoise to warm yellows and oranges. The photo from her voyage en Albanie anchors the page, surrounded by delicate florals, butterflies, and heartfelt details that evoke movement and joy. The French phrases — découvrir and voyage — beautifully capture the spirit of exploration and creativity. 💛🌍

Nicole’s work reminds us that every journey leaves a colorful imprint on the heart.

🎨 Guest Detective Spotlight: Kylie Gw 🌿
Kylie brought her signature storytelling flair to Case File No. 482 with her vibrant digital layout, “Going, Going, Gone.” 🕵️‍♀️✨

Her piece captures the rhythm of outdoor photography adventures — from prepping gear to chasing birds and fungi through the seasons. The playful numbered steps and bold florals mirror the Case File’s travel theme, while her journaling adds a reflective twist about perseverance and joy in nature. 🌸📷

It’s a perfect reminder that creativity thrives when curiosity leads the way. 💚

✨ Guest Detective Spotlight: Brandy Vaughn ✨
Brandy Brandy Bailey Vaughn cracked Case File No. 482 with her stunning layout, “Time to Explore.” 🕵️‍♀️🌍 Inspired by the travel-themed scene, she transformed earthy textures and adventure motifs into a story of discovery at Inner Space Cavern, Georgetown, TX.
