Hello Everyone!! Today I am excited to share with you my little mini album created for Bella BLVD and the Basically Bare team up! I am also a little aprehensive too because I don't normally venture outside of scrapbooking layouts. But I figure, if I don't challenge myself every now and then, how will I know what I can achieve! *grin*.. So here goes...
"Home Away from Home"
My main objective with this mini was to create something I can keep all of our favourite camping memories in. We go camping a lot. And the kids love these adventures. So... I really needed to create a space for these memories to be kept together and of the main camp sites we visit over and over again.
The first few pages are half the size of the Basically Bare album itself. I wanted to document things we always do regardless of where we spend time camping - bike riding, bush walking, swimming and setting up the tent.
The mini album came with envelope inserts and in these I have kept essential information and details such as location, contact details and price lists. :) It will be interesting to be able to compare these things in a few years time.
What I have found that I love the most about this mini, is that I can continue to add to it... The more adventures we have, the more places I can document about. Sort of a bucket list to tick off as we travel and explore.
