Well, I think I've traveled more this month than ever before. By the time July has come and gone I will have been to Portland, San Fransisco and Spain! Crazy.
So Spain. Our daughter has been studying abroad this summer with a college program, and we're going over to see her "graduate", meet her "Spainish Mom", and the best part: bring her home!!!
Of course, a trip to Spain requires a travel journal! I was debating between all three options above, and settled on the vintage album:
You can see above how I started filling in the missing spots with vintage wallpaper and other bits of paper.
I took some papers with me to work on while watching my son play third...
and had lots of fun gathering and making some special papers to build the inside signatures with.
So far, this page is my favorite.
Well, actually, the combination of these two pages together is.
After all the signatures were created, I decided to bind it using the method Mary Ann teaches in Full Tilt Boogie. (I so appreciate online courses that don't expire and have info available forever!)
I chose the chain stitch option.
Love it!
I can't wait to fill it full of treasures and thoughts collected along our way...
But for now, I need to make a list for my Dad who will be staying here (-gotta be specific-he'd call it bossy ;) , and then get to bed!
I hope you have a great week and I'll be back on the blog come August. xo
(p.s. this journal is similar to the one we'll be making in our class in Italy- more to come on that soon)
