The night before my birthday, at about 11pm, I completed one last 30 before 30 goal:
24. Finish a travel scrapbook. Any of them.
How's that for cutting it close? ;)
But, only 16 months after beginning, my Scrapbook on the Road album is finally complete!
I thought I'd make a little video, showing the pages of the album and talking about some things that I did and didn't like.
I posted my thoughts on Scrapbooking on the Road and working on this album just after I returned from my trip. (I also posted what supplies I took with me and my reasoning, plan and pre-prepared pages.)
There are just a couple more things I want to remember for next time:
- Completing the album in batches - printing all photos, adding photos to album and then embellishing - doesn't work best for me.
- All the same size photos becomes repetitive, particularly when they are entire pages.
- Use less bold patterned papers as I find them hard to work with when pulling the album together.
- Journaling spots and little spaces for lists or comments works well.
- Random observations gathered together are one of my favourite things to record and include.
It may have taken me 16 months, but I got there in the end. One travel scrapbook, complete.
