Travel Scrapbook: Europe
Posted on | March 9, 2010 | 4 Comments
This is a project I started a few years ago. During my recent winter blues, I was finally able to finish it. It’s a scrapbook of a vacation I took in Europe with my mom, brother, sister, and Mica. (Mica was only 4 years old then.) We visited about 18 cities in 30 days – that in itself was an experience!

The scrapbook consists of three 8-1/2 x 8-1/2 albums. I like working with this album size. It limits me to only two 4×6 photos on each page but it challenges me to think of ways to make the pages interesting. Most pages have a repetitive pattern – makes it faster to finish the project. Here’s a quick look at some of the pages:

From left to right, top to bottom: (1) Cover page; (2) Journal page with little Mica on the photo; (3) Most pages look like this – two photos with a circle journal block; (4) I had leftover coins from each country so I added them to the pages (We went just before they shifted to Euros.); (5)My country page looks like this (I used photos from brochures.); (6) Another journal page (I used masking tape on the photo.)

From left to right, top to bottom: (1) My city pages look like this; (2) Sometimes I would just group several small photos on the page; (3) Another journal page; (4) A variation of my standard two-photo page; (5) A variation on my city page; (6) Another two-photo page.
Speaking of vacation, I’m off to California tomorrow. I will be back in two weeks.

Wow. I really admire your work. You make these things look so simple. I tried to something like this before and well that’s just say I better stick to the computer stuff. LOL
Great work and I hope you enjoy (or enjoyed) your vacation.

Aawww, can’t imagine you having the blues, Kiki. You seem to always be perky and cheerful. I’m glad that little project is making you feel better. What’s giving you the blues?
