A new trip = a new Scrapbook on the Road

Img_6855


Doing all the last minute stuff that goes into getting ready to leave home : including finishing up a column and putting together a new Scrapbook on the Road album for this trip. If you have no idea what I am talking about, check out my Studio A column in the March issue of Creating Keepsakes. This time I am using a 7gypsies tag book.


Airplane paper is from Sugartree. Transparency is Art Warehouse. Word stickers are 7gypsies and the circle plane rub on is from Basic Grey.


Looking forward to adding in lots of bits and pieces from this adventure. Such a great way to record the trip while I am actually on the trip.


In other news: My sister Jessica and Jeffrey were here today on their way down to visit my parents. Loved seeing them. We walked around downtown Eugene a bit. Did a little shopping at the Nike Store (this is the birth place of Nike don'tcha know?) and other shops at 5th Street Public Market. They bought Simon a couple new trains - he is in love of course - and then we met up with my parents and lunch at a local place called Mucho Gusto. Tasty.


Back to packing and scrapping. Leaving early in the morning...hope you all have a great week!


Peace.

    I've got my scrapbook on the road album ready to go to Italy on Monday. Actually at this point it's a blank large Moleskine sketchbook, but I have my mini stapler, a couple stamps, a glue stick, and a pen already to go. Have a great trip! I'll bring my album to Chicago to show you!:)

    Does this mean we won't be hearing from you as often? That I have to get a life of my own going on? Have fun and be safe!

    Gorgeous, gorgeous little album- I'm working on one of these right now too, I've had it forever. I like the 'Canada' on the cover, does this mean you are coming here? :P Hoping you might one day make it down to our neck of the woods. :) You'd love Montreal, I'm sure.
    Since Simon loves trains so much, you will definitely have to check out that new BG train pp, it's adorable! very boyish and cool.
    have a safe trip!

    Thanks for noting the ablum brand! The ice slowed us down, but we're leaving today for our Florida trip. I just put the last stamp and ink pad in my "on the road" box and I'm ready to hit the road! Thanks for more inspiration! Hope your trip is wonderful!

    First I have to say i love your work and blog! I have been visting for a while but never commented. Hope you have a safe trip. I had to laugh when I say who Jeffrey was...he is awesome! I say him a few years ago at a seminar and have followed him since. Such a small world!

    This is such a small world. I randomly clicked on the Jeffrey link you had and my husband knows Jeffrey and met your sister when they came to Scottsdale. I didn't get to meet them because I had the stomach flu at the time. Oh well maybe next time.
