Materials

My Mind's Eye Collectable - Unforgettable - Firsts patterned paper

SOUL SURVIVOR - September

Soul Scrappers is celebrating the site's 10th anniversary in 2020, with a SURVIVOR-themed year long challenge.  It's modelled on the reality tv show, except there will be no eliminations.  I've signed up and I will be sharing my creations on my blog.

** Participants can sign up all year - and there's also a random element so everyone has a chance to earn points and win some scrappy prizes **

The September challenge theme is MAPS.  I created another page for my cruise travel journal {which is getting fatter and fatter!}

Materials

Upcycled Jacaranda atlas pages
Cocoa Vanilla Hello Sunshine - Happy Days patterned paper
Cocoa Vanilla Flying High sticker
Cocoa Vanilla Made of Awesome alphabet stickers
American Crafts Thickers - Shoebox chipboard alphabets
Painted wood veneer shapes
Twin Seven decorative masking tape
Bakers twine

To make the origami ship, I followed online instructions that I found at Paper Kawaii.   Traditional origami doesn't use any fasteners, but I added a staple to keep mine flat on the page, and I also added some little embellishments.
