Travelers notebook - Let's go

Using up them PL cards and when it's perfect, well there ya go.

24/7 - 365

Why yes, my darling sweet hubby (99% of the time) spend

all that time together.

We live full time in our RV and travel 6-7 months (more or less)

out of the year traveling.

Which is such a blast, we have a lot of fun.

Then because I could I made another page that turned out really cute.

TH butterfly, Art-C, Studio Calico, TH, Dear Lizzy stamp.

On the backside I glued this envelop and tag because

I really didn't want to have to embellish another couple of sides

only because I feel I have too LOL.

It's a thing.

So I really wanted to write more about our adventures a bit 

more so that worked out really well.

I have chatted about us being together 24/7. You can read about that here.

A fun time we had before leaving was getting to hang out with the

grands in which was a lot of fun and good food.

It worked out well with journaling on the left and photos on the right.

Used some TH on it - Studio Calico PL & stamps, MS alpha punch, oh my

new dragonfly stamp. Had to work that in.

 

Mixed Media - Twelve and then some

This was a fun page to make, however, if you skim

down, I made it for the photo of my favorite, fearless eldest son

jumping out of a perfectly good airplane but the colors

didn't work. At. All.

However, this page of Owen turning 12 is perfect.

It turned out really fun.

Lots of TH - using the oxides sprays.

I'm still trying to get the hang of the sprays, etc.

stamps, but the embellishment side of it.

I still scrapbook it LOL.

However, it turned out using the packaging technique

and some stencils from Art-C and some

Tim Holtz tags and embellies.

The title was done with stamps I bought from M's

and even though I have the packaging - there's no name.

I also use some same stamps from the Art-C.

Thanks to my pal Holli who gifted me with this

TH die cut of flowers.

Love the colors!!!

Those butterflies are made of wax paper. I find

that if you layer in wax paper when die cutting

intricate dies - it helps pop them out easier and the

wax paper does make a cool embellie.

This was a premade page - using watercolors.

Had a lot of fun making these pages and as I said

I'm feeling my way. 

I also found these pages are sticking together so I'm

only doing one side with photos in this album as well.

In this album which is a mixed media watercolor album I gessoed

the pages and I think that is the sticky culprit.

I'll keep you posted.

 

Traveler's Notebook - Love this life!

I decided, based on past TN's that it's not a good idea

for me to have photos on both sides.

Therefore, in the midst of the this TN that has been

going on for awhile, I'm changing

it up to have embellishments on the left, photos on the right.

And shake it all around.

😂

Also, I have run out of 4x6 photo paper (gasp I know)

BUT I have a ton of 5x7 so......

It's been interesting working with that size.

Below is a series of fun photos that me and my pal Christine

did looking for that ONE photo that doesn't make

one look goofy.

As you can see it took awhile and since we look goofy

anyway, why not roll with it.

I printed the photos 1.9 square to get them all in and

really like how the series turned out.

You can almost see the fun transparency which says Seriously LOL.

Using up my stash of project life cards is going really well. 

Love the sentiment on this card and the old fashioned lady

and her little bouquet and buttons I fussy cut from a tag. 

We had a lovely Labor Day with family at Ocean Beach. 

Good food and lots of fun.    

Of course one can't be in NJ without having pizza - like a lot.

Nobody does it better.

Love the thin cracker like crust - one can eat more. 

Project life card fussy cut to the rescue again.

We didn't do much sightseeing but we did get to Twin Lights.

Very cool. 

Studio Calico PL, QK spicy chicken, TH PL cards, 

embellies and papers,

thickers.

 

Our travels through Illinois

GENESO CAMPGROUND

We hung around a few days and this is the view

of my walks along the canal.

It was beautiful!!!

There is also a launch for kayaks and looks

like an easy ride.

 And there is a lock at one end of the canal.

From here we had overnighters as we beat feet to New Jersey where

we will hang for about 6 weeks.

On one of our overnighters we got to hook up with favorite youngest son.

Then on to Maine.

woohoo.

Our travels through Idaho

We stayed awhile here as well as it's one of our

Favorite states. 

It's like #1 on the top ten.

TWIN FALLS-JEROME BRIDGE
 over the snake river...
the river that Evil Knievel jumped over but not here.

However,

It attracks base jumpers - apparently it has the school

to go to if you want to fling yourself off the

bridge with a parachute.

Some were packed, some not.

He wasn't packing...

and he landed near the zone.

SHOSHONE FALLS

It is stunning, gorgeous.

I made a video - I need to do this more.

RIGGINS

This is the Riverside RV park and it is beautiful. Behind

that picnic table is the Salmon River. 

It has lush greens and flowers, fruit trees and a garden.

We have 2 weeks reserved for next year.

Best burgers ever.

It's a small town and I walked it every morning.

And then there was the rock slide.
