Scrapbook Saturday

Yesterday, I spent the 4th of July sorting through my two 12x12 storage boxes full of travel scrapbook supplies. I used one box for road trips, hiking, Disney, beach and anything else regarding travel in the U.S. The second box contains all general travel supplies as well as internationally themed things and travel stamps. It took me 3 hours!! I have a lot of stuff. 

When we went to England at the end of April, I knew that I would be making two layouts for that trip. One would be for the first part of the trip with Janet and the last part of the trip with Butch.

I made the cute luggage tag on the Cricut. 

The flag on the left with a picture of Big Ben is actually from a bag that came with something I bought. I made a pocket to hold Butch's 20+ page journal. He's started to add photos to it. I told him that officially he is now a "scrapbooker!"

I cut the crown on the Cricut too and used another bag as part of the title for my page with Janet.

The ribbon across the bottom was something that was tied around some towels I bought. That what I call a "two-fer!" The towels and then a bonus for my scrapbook. 

The title block opens to reveal another picture.

I used an insert to hold more pictures. also, I use a library pocket to hold the itinerary and journaling. 

I'm so happy I got all of my travel supplies sorted. Now I can plan for my Paris layout(s). I'm planning on doing 3. "Paris", "Disneyland (Paris)" and "Food, Flowers and Tea." I've already planned the titles on the Cricut--I just have to cut them. Plus, I pulled out all the supplies I have for Paris. I'll put papers and several things together to make kits. It's always easier to start with a kit! A little pre-planning goes a long way. It's much more fun to sit down to create when everything is together.
