I agree, I love taking photos in Vegas. There are so many interesting buildings and scenery to get photos of. I love the LO design and the minimal use of elements leaving the focus on the photos.
I for one think it's great you went for the photos!! I often do the same. And may I welcome your to GingerScraps? I'm sure you'll love it here.. there's so much to do.. and so many super people!! I like your title work on this layout!! Well done!!
