time to travel

I am up to my elbows in life right now...and dreaming of getting away this summer. While we do not have huge travel plans this year, we do have a family trip planned, as well as a weekend waterfalls explore in the works.

So this past weekend's project found me following ali edwards scrapbook on the road online class and making up one of three travel journals I will be keeping this year.

Now while I think I know my way around  paper to come up with my own ideas for a travel album, I have always enjoyed seeing ali's on the road type books. And while I have made my own in the past, I wanted to not have to think, and simply follow the directions and ideas of someone else. And so that's what I did.

Fun techniques. Lots of layers. Use of clear overlays, staples, stitches, oh my!

I had very little of the suggested supply list, so this made the shopping of my own stash, as well as making a few of my own embellishments, very rewarding. As you saw on the vellum I used, I printed a digital map paper with the transparency about 50%. I like the result and will probably do it again.

Next time I will post more of the inner pages that allow plenty of room for journaling on the road.
