Our road trip this summer is now documented in a scrapbook. This is the biggest project I’ve ever taken on, and it was really a lot of fun reliving our fabulous trip.
Archiver’s three-ring albums are my favorite, and I always buy a few when I am lucky enough to be near one of their stores. The fabric letter stickers are American Craft and the numbers from Making Memories.
This page was lots of fun to do. I love this paper from Little Yellow Bicycle. It was amazing how many cities we passed through were on the map–including Hays, Kansas where I was born. We stopped there on our way home. It was the first time I’d been back since we left when I was in second grade!
I did a two-page spread for nearly all of the 12 national parks and monuments we visited. For a couple of parks I actually ended up with three pages.
After the 2-page layout, I had photo sheets from We R Memory Keepers where I could add extra photos. Bryce was one of the parks that warranted three pages, so you can see the title page for that park, too.
When I finished I had five filler pages I needed to do to keep the trip in chronological order. Above you see two of them.
This was probably one of my favorite layouts, perhaps because I loved staying near Yellowstone Lake and had lots of great photos.
Luckily it all fit into one album. It’s big and heavy, but not too overwhelming for someone to look through.
Well done Karen, that was quite an achievement. From what I could see it looks like a beautiful album and I’m sure you’ll get lots of pleasure looking through it in years to come and reliving the memories.
Each time we go to Chicago to visit family I do an album when we come home and we love looking at them – especially when we see how much the children have grown and changed!
Could I pay you to make this for me?
