Getaway Memories

Travel-Themed Embellishments

Greetings scrappers! This week I bring you another outdoorsy-themed page. This photo was taken during a trip to North Lake just as the fall leaves were turning and the lake was starting to freeze. I had never been here before and it was an absolutely beautiful view!

I started with a piece of dark green paper with a subtle pattern from The Paper Studio’s Entirely Textures stack. Since this paper is quite thin, I used some DCWV khaki cardstock from their neutrals stack as a mat. I used two sheets of paper from the Bo Bunny Altitude stack beneath my photo. This paper features mountains and signs for skiing so I thought it was a good fit for a page with a photo taken in the mountains. All other paper on this page were miscellaneous scraps that I had pulled from my stash since they matched the color scheme.

I had a very old sheet of travel themed stickers by the Paper Studio and tried to use up as many of them as I could. I used them to make the title, arrows and both globes. The colors were a really great match for my color scheme. I was missing the dot over the “i” in “memories” but fortunately I had a brad that was a close size and shape to make a suitable replacement. A glass embellishment from Kaisercraft’s Journey collection was a nice touch over a tag die cut I found.

I used the image of the boy running outside from a bujo (bullet journal) tear pad. I wish I knew the brand but it’s all in Chinese. Since this particular tear pad is all vellum, it’s always a challenge to adhere them to the page since I can’t use my normal adhesive taps on transparent paper. I used a combination of multi-faceted enamel dots and some stickers from The Happy Planner Dream Seeker sticker book to hold the sheet of vellum in place.

I put my color palette together with the help of Color My Heart Color Challenges. The four colors I chose from the provided options were Sapphire, Glacier, Habour and Shortbread.

This page was also created for Sketches in Thyme #501 sketch. I liked that this entire sketch was on an angle since I don’t do that very often. The photo I used was much bigger than the one in the sketch so it took up even more of the page. I didn’t have a large paper doily soI cut a smaller one in half to keep the same feel.

That’s all for now. Thank you for stopping by my page and I will see you next time scrappers!
