snapshots album Click image to enlarge Designer: Kelly Purkey Taking a fabulous vacation this summer? When I go on vacation, I find that I take more scenic shots then ones with people in them. It's fun to look back and the architecture and the colors of the city. Use your city snapshots to create this fun little mini album of the wonderful places you've been.
