Hi there. Over the next three days I'll be sharing an album I made to document my trip to Ireland, Wales, England and France with the school a couple years ago. Over April vacation every year, we take a group of students on a tour. Sometimes I get picked to chaperone. This year, I'll be heading to Italy, Greece, and Turkey with the kids. I can't wait.
Anyway, for this project, I used a 6x8 Simple Stories album with a couple different styles of page protector.
The album is divided into three sections, labeled Ireland, UK, and France. I had to renew my passprt recently, and since this was the last trip I took with my old passport, I stuck it in the album.
There are paper pages inserted in a couple spots to hold extra journaling.
Each section of the album has its own color scheme. I used a lot of orange and green in the Ireland section.
The album is fairly simple, because I had so many pictures to include. I used a lot of labels, stamping, washi tape, and printable elements, and did a lot of writing directly on photos.
Dublin might be one of my favorite places in the whole world. I'm dying to go back.
Some of the cards I used are from Studio Calico Project Life kits, some are from the Midnight Edition Project Life core kit, some are MAMBI Pocket Pages journaling cards, and some I made myself.
There are bits of memorabilia tucked in here and there. And I used wood veneer, clips, and page tabs from my stash.
And that's the end of the Ireland section. Tomorrow I'll show you the UK section. Thanks for looking!
Love it. Am always so pleased when you post again: something you do, some little touch (like the layered papers at the top of one of the pages) always makes me run off and create. (Had a little chuckle as I adore Boots too - I was in there today rummaging in their half price sale and nabbed me a Ted Baker smokey eye palette and a pack of nail polishes, all for £12! Got to love it even more with prices like that!
