Scrapbooking: En Route
As I said in a previous post, I recently went to Oregon. The reason I went is so I could drive back with my dad from Oregon to Tennessee. My parents recently bought a house here (yay for me!) and so I volunteered to make the trip in the rental truck with my dad. We had such a great time and I took a few pictures along the way to document it. As soon as I got home I started working on a scrapbook of our journey so I wouldn’t forget anything. I just finished today and I am ready to share it with you!
The cover:
I still really love these clear covers. They are so fun! I purchased mine from here a couple of years ago and I don’t think she makes them anymore but there are plenty of other companies that make the clear albums.
A few pages:
All of the patterned papers I printed using the Repro Depot pattern book (folk). My brother got if for me for Christmas (thanks Josh!) and I love it! I have been wanting to print every single pattern! I thought the colors were perfect for this mini book so I printed about 10 or so different patterns and used them for the whole book. Now, after seeing how much I can use them, I really want the other pattern book Flora as well! There are about a million projects I could use these for.
I also used maps, vintage papers, manila file folders, and kraft paper. I also used my typewriter a bunch and of course added some sewing. I wanted the book to look less than perfect so it would look a bit vintage-y. Anyway, if you want to see the rest of the book, take a look at my flickr account.
I hope you all have a great weekend! I know I’m planning to :) The sun is out and I want to enjoy it!
Hello, and welcome to my little blog! What started out as a blog to show some of my scrapbook pages ended up being a blog that shows all of my projects, ranging from scrapbooking to decorating to sewing to photography. I also run a little online shop called

very cute. Makes me wish I could have been on that trip with the two of you! But then, I get you for the shopping trips so I guess I can let your dad have you for the trip across the country!!!
Just came across your blog. Love this album. We will soon be taking a road trip of our own. We are moving to Southern California, so we will go from Dayton, OH all the way to LA! This gave me a good idea of what I need to collect along the way!
I also loved your decorating for your church. Our church could use some decorating. I loved the birds!!!
Thanks!
I love the album! I have been eyeing that Retro print book…may have to invent :) Looks like a fun trip with your DAD!
It looks like you went through the boring part of TX! Next time, come to the best part, and we’ll show you a good time Texas style!!!! :) Just bring Heather, she knows the way. :)
Lucky you! My parents have been threatening to move to Cleveland for the last 5 years. Who knows if/when it will actually happen. Love the book, too!
