Pointer pages in regular album

That point you to "The Album."

For those of you that followed our 2 month

travel escapade you'll remember that I did an album

as we went, so except for one page the

entire album was completed before we returned home.

I know it still boggles my mind as well.

This album is the West of the Mississippi Tour.

 This double spread (more or less) are our adventures

in Yellowstone park - And yes I did get the kit from the park store.

As you may or may not know, Tom and I don't do a lot

of pictures of ourselves and I decided that

we were going to include some for this trip because 

why not. 

So to make a statement or two, I printed the photo 8.5x11

and decided to scrap straight on that photo.

 With a note on the page to check out our road trip album

for more details.

 Because the story of this photo was fun.

 It's a gorgeous place and if you ever want to

go anywhere and only one place to go

check out Yellowstone Park.

You will NOT be disappointed.

 And because we took another photo together

that had another fun story with it, I printed two of them

because I wanted to frame one. When I

decided the photo to be frame needed to be tweaked,

I decided to scrap the second 8.5x11.

The Grand Tetons are the breathtaking mountains

you see on the ride to Yellowstone - if you're coming in

from Jackson Hole Wyoming - you

get a gorgeous ride to a phenomenal park.

Win-win.

Of course we stopped at the ranger station to get our

passport stamped and I picked up a couple of do-dads perfect

for scrapping.

Again pointing out the road trip album.

 Love how these 2 pages turned out and I

may also pull out other photos - maybe to tell a bigger story.

Its pretty hard to do that because it was so cool scrapping

as we went so the stories have already been told.

I also have a better idea of what to take now

although stopping at a scrapbook shop on the road

was a total win and I documented that.

If you go back through my posts started about mid-July in 2015

you can read about our exploits starting with Packed and Ready to Go.

The photos in my road trip album were printed from Canon Selphy printer.

Its a great road trip printer - small and compact however, the largest

photo size is 4x6.

It is also not the most cost effective printer but it was the convenience

of being able to have the prints instead of adding

them after the fact...

I also kept a separate "daily journal" that I'm going to

try to combine this next time around.
