I've taken some time away from my crafting for the past little while to focus on me. The holidays were super busy... I baked about 40 dozen cookies, 6 batches of brownies and I've needed some time to myself to recoup :) In other news, I also booked a trip to Disney World so I've been distracted with planning an amazing week lol.
My upcoming trip to Disney World actually inspired this project. I really want to make a travel journal to capture all the memories of my trip and though I had kept a lot of souvenirs from past trips... I've never actually scrapped them. This trip is super special to me for many reasons so I'd love to record it. So I did some research on 'travel journals' and found lots of cute mini album-esque ones... but there's 1 problem - I've never made a mini album! (And surely I don't want my travel journal to be my first one lol... I need to practice the craft).
So... I went through my supplies and found some really cute masculine paper I've been hoarding for... oh gosh, I'd say about 2 years lol... and started crafting!
Here are some pages of the mini album:
I think it turned out super cute, and I feel pretty confident in making another 6..... or 14 of them :)
Thanks for looking :) And if you happen to want to buy the album - I have listed it on Etsy here.
Happy New Year Alicia! I found your blog when I was searching for centerpiece ideas for a congratulatory dinner for my niece - a new veterinarian. She just finished her long education/internships and will get her Vet diploma in June. I am using my cricut and the create a critter cartridge mimicing the ones you made for the baby shower. Question - what is the green material in the red buckets? I bought green felt squares to cover the styrofoam but your green material looks better. Thanks Alicia
ReplyDeleteHi Allison! The material I used was either crepe paper or just plain ol' tissue paper :) I can't remember which I used but I for sure used one of them. I'm sure either would work out just fine! Good luck with your centerpieces, I'd love to see them when you're done :)
