Awhile back on
Laura's blog she had the
awesome idea to put together a
"Vacation Album". It made me think about all our Disney trips that I haven't scrapped & at the rate I'm going I'll never get to.
So after thinking about it I decided to take all our Disney trips & put them in
pocket pages in
American Crafts Linen albums grouped by trip.
I got to use a lot of my old stash that I've been hording & at this point couldn't possibly use it all without things looking the same.
Title page
Used 1st pocket to "date" the trip. I took older papers I had & trimmed them down to 4x6 to use as "filler" pages & use for some simple journaling.
I'd also make a simple title "page" to show which park we were at.
For some of our pics we bought at the park I included with various sized page protectors. This was 8x8 & I just backed it with some patterned paper I had stashed.
Used some American Crafts "mumbo jumbo" alpha stickers as a simple title page on the back...
Since we went twice in 1996 I made another title page using different paper I had bought at Disney that I never knew how to use....
This was the trip that Joe asked me to marry him...
This tells the story of how he proposed.....
8x10 pic from the park....my hair was pretty high looking at this now.....
That's Joe & I in the last row....I'm screaming the whole way down.....
Some pics were processed 3 1/2x5 so I just backed it with some patterned papers...think I'll keep it to black cardstock in the future....
That 1st album holds 5 trips to Disney. I'm happy with this set-up & like having them all together. If I feel there's a pic that "needs" to be scrapped then I will but I won't be doing anymore "dedicated" scrapped Disney albums....I still have to finish our 2007 trip!!
So now I'm up to 3 albums & can easily fill more!!
I will eventually do this for our other trips when I'm caught up with these. The 2nd 2 albums still need the journaling on various insert cards but I figure I can easily do those over time. So once again I have Laura to thank for this
fantastic idea!!
THANK YOU LAURA!!!
I feel the pressure off my shoulders!!
