Playa Del Carmen Scrapbook Theme

For our 10th year Wedding Anniversary, my husband and I took a romantic vacation to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. We had a great time and took many photos of our adventures.

I like to pick a theme for each event's scrapbook or section. For this one, I used a map of Mexico that I had saved out of a National Geographic insert. I cut narrow wavy strips to edge each page.

I used a metallic cardstock in blue and copper on the strips and to accent throughout. I alternated the colors of the strips on each page.

I included our personal photos but also appointment cards from the spa, wrist bands and postcards from the park we visited, even a satellite image of the hurricane that hit just days before we were due to arrive. It is fun to have all the memories gathered in one handy place and the consistent theme really pulls it all together.
