Wanted to share the Scrapbook pages I did recently of my cruise to Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia back in May. (I’m way behind on scrapping; there have been 3 other trips since then).
These pages feature the Hemingway Soar with it Collection, the matching cardstock and ribbon. Look how much you can do with just that. And I even had leftovers. I haven’t journaled on some of these yet, but you get the idea. Click on a picture for a larger view.
By the way, I have to point out one of my favorite scrapbooking tricks. I usually order my prints from Kodak gallery. I’m quite the shutterbug, so I take tons of pictures. I have come to terms with the fact that I just can’t scrap them all. I can, however, get more pics in when I make mini photos (you’ll see several in these samples). I do that by making collage prints. You can pick and choose which prints you put into your collage. I usually do 9 on a 5 x 7 sheet. It’s about $1.99. A little pricier than prints, but so compact, it actually saves me a lot of scrapbook pages. So in the long run, I think it works out cheaper and saves me time. So I order my favorite pics in regular prints and order the next best ones in collage format.
So now we come to the Victoria section of the pages. For the word, “Victoria”, I used my extra postcards and brochures to cut out the letters, which was a good way to jam all those pics in. I freehanded them and just adhered to the misty turquoise CS to make a mat. This gives a sense of unity and keeps the letters from blending into the page.
Just a scrap of the printed paper in each corner of this spread helps unify the pages.
Again with the cut and collage letters. I did add one clearance sticker (the one that reads, “special”). Now I just need to do my journaling. The Soar With it Collections really make scrapbooking easy.
