Just got back from vacation on Monday.....and I took craft supplies with me, well doesn't everyone? Three days before our trip was over.....I pulled out the November SOTM set "Capture the Date" S1211. As I looked at this set, I thought what could I make that would be really fun? During our trip we make many stops and I started picking up fliers at each place we visited and it hit me....how about a vacation smash book?
Now, let's get started.
Now, let's get started.
If you
are coming here from Kami Welter's Blog
you're on the right path.....and if you get lost along the way, its easy to get back on track, just go to HelenOnulak's Blog for a full list of hoppers. We have an amazing group of 68
Consultant's participating this month!
There are a lot of pictures on this post, hope you enjoy :)
The cover was made with a bag from one of the wineries I visited on my trip. I embossed it with Cashmere pigment ink (Z2503) and clear embossing powder (Z821), then distressed the paper with a variety of pink and purple inks. First embossing the cover with black ink for "October 2012"
The cover is still not done, but close enough for the hop......I used a cabinet knob and part of the wine bag handle for the cover. Now, I actually needed one more page in the book and due to the thickness it wouldn't close, so I had to make a foe closing cover with the My Creations Bookmark Album Z1740. It turned out really well this way.

ReplyDeleteOk...I think the next time you tell me you're not a "scrapbooker", I'm going to have to smack you upside your head. LOL Absolutely amazing! Love what you did with the album and the stamp set.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic project ! Thanks for sharing so many photos for us to see, what a great idea to incorporate so many bits from your travels to this winery :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic keepsake you've created Tamra! THANKS for inspiring me with your creativity!! :)
ReplyDeleteWOW< GORGEOUS, gorgeous, gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the book! And yes, I take craft supplies on vacation! The one time I didn't? We got word that my father-in-law had passed away and were on the road for a 7 hr. drive in less than 2 hours. I looked at the bag-and decided NOT to take it. Fast forward to trying to put together a photo montage for the reception following the service---in a town that had a dollar store, drug store--and that was pretty much it! No Wal-Mart, no AC Moore...no...well, you get the idea! I managed tho! And I never leave home (for any length of time!) without my craft bag!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Now...I'll have to put one together for our tour of the California Central Coast Wineries! How did you make the road signs - they are clever!
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen, the signs are made with the Artiste cartridge and the SOTM. Have fun in California :)
DeleteWhat a fabulous album! I love the journaling cards - that alone makes me "need" this stamp set! But your album is such an inspiration! Thanks so much!!
