Visit the USA Mini Album Pages: Part Two

Hello everyone!  Barbara Rankin  here.  As you know, the Altered Pages design team are taking trips throughout the USA this month.  The team has chosen two states to feature, and I chose California and Florida for my posts this month.  My first post featured California, but today, I am going to go with the beachy theme, so Florida it is! I am continuing to work in my  metal covered mini album  that I made a couple of months ago.  I still have lots of blank pages to work in, and like I said before,  Altered Pages  is my go to store for dressing up my mini album pages. My first page spread:  Background papers are from the Glitz Designs Pretty in Pink paper pad.  I used the  Brighton Beach  and  Vintage Vacations  collage images, layered onto slightly larger cream card stock.  I also used the "Miami Beach" image from the  USA States Florida  collage sheet. I inked two chipboard  sc...

South Carolina is for Lovers

Hi everyone! It's me,  Tonya . I don't know about you but I do love the beach and I sure do love Folly Beach which is in Charleston, South Carolina. The hubby and I love Folly Beach so much we were married there a couple of years ago. It was the most perfect sunny day in March, out of a not so warm and perfect week of cold, icky and bad weather. But hey...I got my wish of being able to stand barefoot on the beach with the man I love and say our I does. :-)    I would like to share a page of a recent trip we took. I used the  AP 211 State of South Carolina  printable and a piece of cardstock that I cut down to 5 5/8"x7 5/8" from the  Glitz Uncharted Waters Paper Pad  from  Altered Pages . The page was very easy to put together. I used ephemera I had picked up from the hotel and trips into Charleston. I have a Instax printer that I took along on the trip and was able to print photos that I took with my phone. I added a map of the area th...

Road trip memories with a vintage suitcase tag book--Part One

Hello! I'm Betsy Skagen of Paper Calliope and I'm thrilled to be joining the Altered Pages Design Team. Just before I joined the team, my family embarked on a quintessential American roadtrip traveling across Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and South Dakota. We saw some of the United States' most beautiful landscapes and national parks including Glacier National Park; Yellowstone; the Grand Tetons; the Badlands of North and South Dakota; and Mount Rushmore before returning to Minnesota, the beautiful land of 10,000 lakes. Since we are never ones to do things the easy way, we squeezed into two adults, two teens, a 12-week-old Golden Retriever puppy and a 90-pound bluetick coonhound (who did not want to be in the same state, let alone the same car, as the puppy). What's more, at least three of the occupants have ADHD, which could make managing the puppy's behavior seem like a walk in the (dog) park. Crazy? Maybe. Would I do it agai...

First Page Spread On this page, I added  Glitz Design Paper s, collage images from  USA States California  and  San Francisco  collage sheets.
