Girls' road trips

This layout is a travel journal page for one of my girls' day trip albums.

I was inspired by the Soul Scrappers September Mystery Bag challenge to use an AMPERSAND {American Crafts Thickers - Jewellery Box alphabets}. Those alphas are quite old, so i needed a bit of glue to hold them in place. I love stash diving to use what I have.

In the stash-diving vein, I'm also using up more of my beloved Basic Grey {Scarlet's Letter - Recognition} which is one of my all-time favourite patterned papers.

& & & & & & & & & &

This one is for my 3 Girls 2021 road trip album ~

It's a bit of a filler page, scrapping one of my 'spare' scenery shots that probably wouldn't have made the cut otherwise. I'm sharing this at:

* Off the Rails ~ Green in all its hues
Yellow-greens and lime-greens

* Scraptember ~ Day #1: Stickers
Using up the last of my old Cosmo Cricket Social Club - Elements border stickers - stoked with that stash-busting accomplishment!

& & & & & & & & & &

And a double for the 3 Girls road trip album ~

I'm submitting this at Soul Scrappers September One Word challenge, featuring C for COWS. The chipboard alphabets are American Crafts {Thickers - Gift Box}. They've been in my stash for years - not many left in this old set now, so I had to due some creative butchering alteration!

Brisbane Tramway

In a recent tidy-up I came across another unfinished mini-album, which is my latest UFO target! This one uses an upcycled Little Golden Book:

I really like that the illustrations do all the heavy lifting. I use paper scraps to cover unwanted text, and I love adding personal touches such as stencilling and small embellishments. For this page I used a Tim Holtz layering stencil {Mini Set #49 ~ Script} with texture paste, and a few wood veneer cogs.

I'm sharing this page at:

* Park Hopping Happy Place ~ Harry Potter
I took my inspiration from the Hogwarts train.

* Papercraft Secrets ~ Masculine
