Scrapbook a Sign

  • by

The challenge this month at Simple Scrapper is to scrapbook a sign. When I put together the collage of welcome signs from our road trip this summer for Rinda’s scavenger hunt, I printed a copy of it. When I saw the challenge, I knew it was time to put it together. This may be the busiest page in my album, but I did want to use the road map patterned paper.

We never saw a sign for Kansas and somehow I didn’t find the photos of a couple other states, so I decided to take the set of Studio Calico stamps and stamp the names of ALL the states we traveled through during those three weeks onto two Paper Source tags. The little car that connects them was cut from a piece of Imaginesce paper as was the border across the bottom. Both came out of a travel folder I keep and I’ve had them for ages.

I trimmed around a Technique Tuesday journaling card; the little Drive medallion came from a set of Little Yellow Bicycle stickers. The alpha is still my all-time favorite from SEI. I bought multiple sets of it in both red and blue before it was discontinued.

Once I finished the page, I realized I haven’t scrapped many photos from the trip at all. Guess I should get on that!

    I remember this collage and how striking it was then – even more so on top of that map paper … I like your tag with all the places you visited on it too.

    It may be a busy page, but that’s perfect for the topic – that was a busy time! Your choices really reflect what it must have been like to be all over the map!

    It is busier than your usual style, and yet your style shines on through – and the busy-ness suits the subject, too 🙂 Lovely layout!
    I’m fascinated by all the state signs, too. That’s quite a collection you have…

    I loved that collection of signs! There is something very powerful about it and I think you have pulled them all together perfectly with the map paper. Lovely!

    I love this layout! It may be busy, but there is something about it which isn’t, if that makes sense! It is very easy on the eye and the map paper is perfect. 🙂

    What a great layout! It doesn’t look busy to me at all – I think it’s because of the way you matted the signs. Just doing a bit of blog catch up tonight, and I like your recent cards too (I have a thing for corrugated paper).
