The Crabtree Cabin, Crate Paper and California

by Christie Bryant

The Crabtree Family Cabin…

…it’s a magical place.

Stone walks and a warm summer breeze set the tranquil mood.

Lush grass and evergreens are a sight to behold.

Wildflowers free the youthful spirit.

Glorious sunsets fill the wide open sky.

The Crabtree Cabin, a place of memory, love, family, fun, beauty, adventure and rest.

And after sunset, the bonfires blaze.

I’m headed back to the Crabtree Cabin again on Monday.

There is no place I’d rather be.

Did you miss me? It’s been awhile…

I’ve been there and back again.

Here’s a little layout that I created using Crate Paper’s Portrait Collection. I’ve use this line a lot, can’t seem to get enough of the black and green combo.

In other news…

I lugged my camera to California with me and only took ONE photo. Can you believe it? Neither can I.

I flew to California to help Karen prepare to open her store, Paradise Scrapbook Boutique in it’s new, larger location.

Karen’s store is beautiful. When she opened the doors for business yesterday, there was already a line of people waiting outside. How wonderful is that? So, so excited for her!

I ‘borrowed’ the follow photos from the Paradise Scrapbook Boutique blog.
