Sweet Spicy Love 12×12 Layout by Suz Mannecke

Sweet and spicy…one of my favorite combinations of words. Yum. And may I say, GO SUZ! I love your idea of a road trip. Diners and fried chicken and being merry…you have it right. And there’s no better way to commemorate a good road trip than with a great scrapbook layout. Suz, LBD Kit Club Design Team Member, went all out with this one.

Check out Suz Mannecke’s Sweet Spicy 12×12 Layout using the Little Black Dress Kit Club July 2012 Scrapbook Kit – It’s My Party!

Favorite aspects of one of my favorite Suz layouts this month include: her perfect use of the Chevron strip at the bottom (love the way you ended it cutting on the Chevron line and stitching past the end), the heart cutouts, the photos (are those printed using Postal Pix and Instagram?), and the journaling. I love when I read someone’s journaling and it makes me smile. Shoot me, I love to smile. Smiling makes me happy. Granted, being happy makes me smile, too, so it’s a toss up whether Suz’s page made me happy or smiling about Suz’s page made me happy, but I’m going to say either one works for me. On to your next adventure, Suz! You’ve inspired me to plan one again soon, as well, so thanks!
