Can you believe that it is already March? Nope, me either! March means mini-madness over at write. click. scrapbook I knew I wanted to put together a mini album of my France trip from last June. Armed with some AWESOME flair from {a flair for buttons}, along with my latest photo app, Waterlogue, I was ready to get to work.
I started by turning a highlight from from our trip into watercolor prints using the Waterlogue app. Next, I printed them on muslin fabric. To print on fabric, spray a piece of card stock with re-positionable adhesive, lay the fabric on the card stock and trim off the excess fabric. Feed the paper/fabric, through your printer following any special instructions in your user manual. That's all there is to it...I was surprised by how easy it is to do.
For the cover, I painted some Gesso around the edges and topped it off with some gold ink and some black ink splatters. I layered on a map background, my fabric print and my embellishments and title.
I finally busted into the Heidi Swapp resist paper I had in my stash for the title page and a couple other pages too! I LOVE them...I really should have tried using them sooner!
I didn't have room on most of my pages for journaling so I used tags in coordinating colors and tucked them in between the pages.
The flair I used from {a flair for buttons} is perfect for travel pages.
I'll be doing some regular scrapbook pages of my trip, but it was really fun using watercolor prints for the highlights of the trip in this mini album.
