Yesterday i talked about traveling with your art journal & limiting your supplies. Maybe art journaling isn't your thing but you do want to capture your vacation/holiday. How about an artsy travel mini album?
The first step is getting a little notebook to use as a mini album. i like using these little notebooks with grid & lined pages because it adds another layer to your mini. i used one before and it turned out ever so lovely. i tend to pick up these moleskin albums in three packs just for such occasions (plus i also keep one in my purse for every day life).
i decided to go with a little grey album. There's three in a pack and so i thought i would make Martha one as well for our trip soon. To get started, select a note book & grab a gluestick. Simple as that. To make the pages a little stronger, glue some of the pages together. i like to glue about two or three pages together. Don't skimp on the gluestick & cover the whole page before sandwiching the pages together. When i was done i ended up with ten double pages or 20 pages total.
Once they are glued togther, build up some of the backgrounds of the pages before you even go on vacation. i am using some of my stencils and various spray inks to create my backgrounds. i used some distress inks too.
Tomorrow i will share with you how to add a few more touches before heading off on vacation, plus how to be successful while on your journey!
