Travel diary Number 3

Travel diary part 3 documented a cruise I went on with a friend in January 1978.

I had fun doing this Travel Diary this month and now all my 1970 holidays are in the one place.

More travel diary-trip to Melbourne.

These 6 pages feature a trip I did while at Teachers college to Melbourne. We stayed in a caravan on a budget. We still managed to tour around and see some of the sights.

Travel Diary with May kit.

I've been using my Counterfeit kit to work on a travel diary using very old photos from holidays so long ago.

Here's some of my pages so far.

Yes, this is me aged about 21.

I intend to continue with this so there will be more pages soon.

International scrapbooking day

At Counterfeit Kit Challenge there is a different challenge each hour.

The first one is mine and a scraplift

Here's my version

Instead of stars I used flowers that I fussy cut. I made one large pleated flower instead of 2 smaller ones and used twine instead of string.

I tried to keep to the pink/black/white/grey wherever possible.

Next was Vicki's sketch

I chose pinks once again. This paper is from Jillibean Soup Chit chat chowder range. As it has paperclips, I followed that lead and used 3 more on the layout.

My next layout was for a recipe challenge.

Recipe Challenge:

Use the ingredients below to create a layout, you can add whatever you want, but the items detailed below

must be shown on your page. Have fun!

Use 1 photo or 3 photos

Use 2 papers

Use 1 frame or film strip

Use 3 small elements such as hearts, buttons or stars

Use a ribbon or a bow

Use one Ephemera element

My ephemera item was the spoon. I picked it up from my dinner tray in the hospital.

I also added some food related brads I have had for a few years. On the filmstrip I added fine green organdie ribbon. Between the photos is some washi tape saying LOVE.

Archiscraps layout-Curves plus a bottle.

AS the owner of Archiscraps. I like to add a layout each month as an example.

Follow this link to the blog.

Archi-scraps

For May, it is curves plus a bottle somewhere on the layout.

I hand stitched the circles and cut the large circle from a diagonal striped paper. The title is also curved circles. I used some TLC mini tags plus a ticket that says ADORE. I like Moscato wine so it suits that theme.

May counterfeit kit.

Our May Counterfeit kit is based on this kit.

"Anywhere but here" By: Traci Reed at Sweet Shoppe Design

https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/Anywhere-But-Here-by-Traci-Reed.html

Obviously, it has a travel theme with brighter colours.

I started with my papers

I managed a map paper, a black and white diagonal check, a multi coloured squares, 2 diagonal striped papers and a pastel pink with small figures on it.

I've added papers by Kaisercraft "Summer Breeze" as well as Bella "chevron"(with maps on the chevrons) plus Basic Grey "Bow ties" and Jillybean soup "Chit chat chowder".

For my embellishments I compiled this group.

The spoons came from hospital where I was recently. I can tie a bow around them on a layout.

I've added journal cards with a travel theme, plus chipboard Eiffel tower and clouds and a tortoise and crocodile (not shown). I made some tabs from scraps of paper. I also added embroidery cotton and ribbons. (some not shown).

I decided on green alphas and some ready made words I had left from last month.
I have also found a bag of various sized hot air balloons so added those as well.

This month I'm working on a travel diary documenting my travels since I was a child.

They won't be layouts but still feature holiday photos.
