Bon Voyage Travel Mini Album

Hi everyone!  Heather here to show you a little something I made with the new Bon Voyage collection. 

Now that summer is over, if you're like me you probably have a ton of vacation or "staycation" photos ready to be scrapped.  Sometimes the hundreds of photos can be overwhelming when planning out layouts so when I'm in that situation, what I like to do is pick a few random photos that show off the highlights and put them in a mini album. I left more blank space than usual so that I have room to add ticket stubs and other little souveniers from our outings.

So, here's the "suitcase" mini I made. I blinged out the centers of the compasses and a few other elements with the i-rock and added more dimension using the i-top. Now I just need to insert my pictures and write the stories!

Thanks for stopping by!  I'd love it if you'd share (in the comments below) any tips you have for scrapping the gazillions of summer photos you take.

- xoxo Heather

Bon Voyage Release Party - Day 4

We've journed through the week and have now come to the final day of our Bon Voyage Release Party!
We have loved sharing all the fabulous projects from our design team, but never fear, we still have one more show and tell with today's amazing array of Bon Voyage creations.

Courtney Lee

We can always count on our Courtney to come up with the most amazing and unique cards and this one is no exception.

Another wonderful card from Courtney which would be perfect for any age boy!

Marielle Leblanc

Okay, we are totally jealous of this pic because Marielle is holding her U2 ticket! She has created this fun layout to mark the special occasion of a flight to Chicago to see one of the world's most famous bands!

Shiver me timbers... Marielle has created this wonderful page with a pirate theme and blends perfectly with the Bon Voyage collection.

Don't the postage stamps look so fun on this card?

Keely Yowler

Keely's delightful card has a cloud feel to it with the shaped cardstock and we're loving that little extra touch with the navy and white bakers twine!

A beautiful layout with a sentimental theme... Keely and her son share a hug and a wish that this moment could be frozen in time. Awwww!

This adorable layout takes on the effect of a giant postage stamp with the 'cut-out' background!

Melinda Spinks

Melinda has added a feminine touch to her layout by creating some rolled paper roses using the Bon Voyage patterned papers and she has even added a hint of burlap for extra interest. And how fun... a glamrock cloud!

Heather Leopard

Someone's having fun taking a helicopter ride... Just look at the amazing stitching Heather has added to her layout. We love it!

Guess who is away at the moment and has her luggage tags in use? Yes, Heather is away working and her Bon Voyage luggage tags are taking pride of place on her cases.

Penny Smith

A weekend away creating timeless memories!

Penny has designed this amazing background to her layout by using a clear emboss resist with the cloud stamps and the little airplane stamp has been colour in to give it that extra pop!

Bon Voyage Release Party - Day 3

Well we've made it to the middle of the week!

The past two days we've been sharing projects from our design team that really show how versatile the Bon Voyage collection can be and it's because we've incorporated two sides of wonderful patterns and warm colours to the papers. That means we've not only incorporated a travel theme but also a neutral theme that leaves your options open for creating your own style of projects.

Today our design team share a wonderful array of holiday projects that will make you head for your passports.

Tracey Taylor

Tracey has created this amazing travel diary and we're just loving the new iron-on flourishes that she has applied to the front and back cover using the new Imaginisce mini-iron.

A fun layout of beautifully painted toes that are being eye-off by some curious little fish. Tracey's snapped this adorable photo on a recent vacation and knew it just had to be scrapped.

Robyn Schaub

Robyn has designed this amazing double page spread that tells such a wonderful story of a wonderful cruisy holiday over the high seas. And look at all that hand-cutting of the stamp collection patterned paper!

A sentimental 'For You' with that postcard feel... complete with it's very own postage stamp!

Cari Locken

Cari has put together this wonderful diary style layout their family get-away and it certainly looks like that had lots of adventurous fun!

The rich and warm colour tones to the bon voyage collection are ideal for boy layouts, especially with the super cute vintage airplanes throughout the design.

Cari has created this very romantic card that could either be hidden away until Valentine's Day or simply given to someone special any day of the week. We think this is just adorable!

Cari has already begun preparing for an impending cruise the family are taking next Summer with the beginnings of what is set to be a wonderful travel journal. Here is the front cover of her mini album!

Lydia Jackson

WOW... what a hotel room view!!! Lydia decided to document her recent trip to Brisbane, Australia and the wonderful view from her room. We are totally jealous!!!

A travel journal is such a wonderful idea when going away because it means you have a daily account of all the sights, sounds, smells of the places you experience and then re-live by pouring through the precious pages of manuscript.

Rhonda Van Ginkel

Such a happy chap having a wonderful time rolling in the hay! Rolling has created a wonderful eclectic display of photos, papers and embellishments to give the feeling of movement and fun all rolled into one layout. And Rhonda was very excited to note that she even STAMPED on her layout!!! We love it!

Bon Voyage Release Party - Day 1

However, Bon Voyage has the versatility to not only be used to showcase all your holdidays snaps, but so many other different occasions as our design team will show you this week with their wonderful projects.

Michelle Unruh

Michelle has used the Bon Voyage collection to mark the arrival of a little bundle of joy and how precious is this photo of a proud grandpa and his little grandson! Awww!

Another theme with a difference... a birthday card! Michelle has also added some little glamrocks using her i-rock to accentuate the punched border.

Aphra Bolyer

A trip to Disneyland... could the location be any more perfect!!! We love how Aphra has added the embroidery thread plane trails!

A sentimental 'Miss You' card!

Such a perfect idea for someone going on a holiday... a travel journal.

Shemaine Smith

Shemaine has used the dark hues for a perfect boy page to document the momentus occasion of her son's first day at high school.

Shemaine has lovingly made this wonderful journal for her teenage son so he can begin to document his life.

Cristal 'Pinky' Hobbs

Cristal always comes up with the cutest Clear Scraps pieces and decorates them in Imaginisce products to create the perfect duo. We just love this clear mini vacation book and all it's little tags!

A masculine congratulations card!

'Ouch' - that looks like a very sore nose! Cristal has used another Clear Scraps product to create this wonderful layout using lots of tags from the Bon Voyage collection!
