012719 - 2017 Fall Break Travelers Notebook


One of my scrappy goals this year is to tackle the unfinished projects in my studio. Some are works in progress, others have just been hunted & gathered. First one done! (Photo heavy post)

I made the album ahead to (unsuccessfully) scrap on the road.



I have a seashell souvenir to add to the elastic closure once I drill a hole...



You'll notice how much ephemera I collect! This book is extremely layered, even for me. There are bundles & pockets of photos, menus, receipts, etc that require hands-on exploration.

The gnome at the gas station before we left town.
Passed a bunch of carnival rides heading to their next stop.
Amazing barbecue joint. Tried to buy a rib for Lila so they gave us a huge shoulder blade!

Lots of rescue vehicles heading south to be ready for Hurricane Irma... prayed a lot on this trip.
So glad to be with our Georgia peaches.
This is the drawing Chloe made on the paper tablecloth in the next photo.
 


 




One of New Orleans amazing historical cemeteries.


 
Photos in the kraft envelope of our FAB meal.
 


Masses of fleeing hurricane victims backing up the freeways.
 


 
  

 










This may be the fattest mini I've ever made!

090817 Pre-Made Vacation Traveler's Notebook & Kit

Traveler's Notebook

I have a trip coming up soon & have really enjoyed scrapping on the road on other vacations. I decided at the last minute to throw a homemade book together. I am considering asking for an Instax camera for my birthday - any feedback? I would love to come home with a finished product! Otherwise I plan to have my photos curated, processed & ready to print when I get home.

I made a traditional size notebook using some papers from a collection pad. That gives me white B sides & alternated them with some plain white inserts about to be discarded from a new album. I then cut elements from the patterned papers to add some interest & give me a stash of embellishments.

I loved the scripty sentiments but thought I would go over them with a white pen. 
It was dried up so I grabbed a gold one - serendipity! 


I've packed up a kit for the road.



Stay tuned!

Oops - forgot to post this before we left... vacay brain!
