Love, Bike Rides, & Instagram




I just love going on tandem bike rides with My Danny! We ride all over town, and have such fun adventures! People honk and wave at us wherever we go. I guess we're quite the sight to behold! I don't usually want to carry around my DSLR when biking, so snapping an Instagram photo here and there is the perfect solution to capturing the little moments along the way! I loved this shot so much I thought it would be fun to enlarge as an 8x8. I had originally intended on using it in my Project Life album, but couldn't resist scrapping with it on a traditional 12x12 page.

This page came together rather quickly and I kinda love how it turned out! It's cheerful and fun, just like our bike ride adventures! I quite liked how the page looked before adding journaling, but because the stories are important to me, I had to include something. Easy Solution: Hidden Journaling. I helped develop and create the artwork for an entire book (found here) on interactive pages, so this was a fun element to include. By simply avoiding placing adhesive to the area where you want to place your hidden journaling, you can make a perfect little pocket. This is a great option for those pages that don't quite have the right spot for journaling, or for a message that you want to keep more private.

Want to see a fun project this photo inspired? Check out my friend Jeana's project over here at the Silhouette blog! Oh, I can't wait to purchase a Silhouette soon!! I might need those exact pillows!
