Vintage Travel Scrapbooking
I’ve been away awhile. I’ve realized that I just keep making cards just cause. Well – I have cards coming out of my ears! Seriously. I need to be more thoughtful with the cards I make, and try to make them with a purpose in mind. I have all these random cards, that I just can’t use for anything.
Anyway, I’m going to try and concentrate on scrapbooking for a bit. I have a ton to do – I still have the last 12 days or so of my Europe trip from 2000 to go. As I was flipping through my done pages, I found this page – it’s one of my favorite pages from this book so far.
In Barcelona we went to a park where an artist had done a TON of mosaic. I replicated that on my page by created a mosaic with silver embossing powder and scraps of paper. I love how it turns out.
I used the CTMH Vintage travel Papers (LOVE this paper), Pewter eyelets, and chocolate grosgrain ribbon.
Enjoy!

The page is gorgeous! A thought on the extra cards… Tons of charities have fundraising silent auctions. Home made card assortments are always popular with bidders. Donate them to a favorite cause that is holding an event. You do beautiful work, and I am sure that they would be well received.

Yup…I remember this page and love it as much now as I did when you created it. You are so talented, Tracy. I love seeing your work.
