Vacation Journal, p 10 and 11 - the end!

Funny that I'm in San Diego this week but this page is for the day we will spend at the beach in Tel Aviv Isreal. I've been both places and I can promise you there are a lot of similarities! This is another envelope page. You may or may not recognize the EK Success Sticker. I do like to "rearrange" them!

Open up the flap to tags, photo mounts and pockets:

and the back of p 10 - I just love that silk tape measure ribbon.

And the back page starts out with more tags

Opens up to a dual journaling page:

and ends with a sumary of strips of all the different papers used in the journal. Of course, I can add a photo here, but I think I like it just as it is!

So, as this goes live, I'll be on the plane flying back to Colorado. I already know I've had a wonderful time being with all my pals out in San Diego. And I hope that you've enjoyed my Vacation journal. I'd love to see yours when you get it done!

Vacation Journal, p 7, 8, and 9

How long did it take me to put this all together? Well, not as long as it's taking to photo and write it up! LOL!!!

P. 7 and 8 are what I call 2/3 pages. They are more than half as they overlap in height. This first side has a photo mount with a tag behind it. The word Paradise on the tab to the right.

When you open it up, more photo mounts - I plan to take about 4000 photos, so you know I'll just put my top 50 in this journal!

This is the back side of p 7. It's a flap the opens up. The brad holds it shut.

The front of p. 8. Notice how you can layer photo mounts and put them just about anywhere?

the inside of p 8.

The back of p. 8. See how fun it is when you have 2/3 pages? You can see what's behind them.

page 9 - one of my favorites The girls are from EK Success. This is an envelope. I used rhinestone brads to wrap my ribbon around to hold it closed.

Open the flap and more photo mounts inside:

with more photo mounts on the back:

Hope you are starting to see how you could make this several inches thick!

Tomorrow night - the final pages! Are you keeping up with me? LOL!

Vacation Journal, p 4, 5, and 6

Page 4 is an envelope. I used rubon flourishes on the red lip. Love the rhinestone embellishment. The dragonfly brads are from Creative Impressions.

Open it up and the word "trip" has a pocket behind each letter with more tags that are either for journaling or for photos.

I drew lines and turned the back of the envelope into a journaling page. The dove is another EK Success sticker. But appropriate since our trip is to Israel.

OK, p 5, you are going to have to use your imagination! The dove is on a clear transparency that has a wood looking frame on the right and bottom with 2 flowers in the bottom corner. You can see through it to p. 6.

And this is the back of that transparency:

P. 6. I've sketched out the border on this one, but it was made using a large Nestabilities label. This whole page is made with a lot of definition stickers and rubons. Sort of fun to pick the words you want and mix them up together.

Inside, I drew lines with a white pen for journaling. Anyone remember the girls from a journal we made awhile back at Scrapbook Your Life!? I think that was our "Mama Mia" weekend!

And on the back - another journaling page. Isn't it fun to see what you can do with a plain piece of srapbook paper?

I'm really hoping that you will make your own journal to suit your needs - but feel free to copy mine! More pages tomorrow night!
