A few layouts using the Enjoy the Journey Classic Kit

Hello everyone!  The diversity of the kit this month is great.  It can easily be used for vacation/travel themed layouts as well as layouts of the everyday.  I pulled out items from the kit and used them to document a day that I was feeling extremely grateful.  I recently saw this statement on Instagram lately and knew I wanted to use it for my title. 

Really this layout is all about the title and journaling.  I pulled some of the stickers to embellish the title and then printed off a few pictures that supported my journaling.  I finished off using a few strips of pattern paper, washi tape, and stickers around the perimeter of my layout that helped "frame" in my title and journaling. 

Once I had finished with that layout I decided to use more of the kit.  This time using a twist on a travel themed title.  We moved into our house 6 months ago in the fall and could see the previous owners had put a lot of time and love into the landscaping.  What we didn't realize is the extent of their green thumbs.  This layout is about how I hope to have a green thumb myself and I am jumping in trying to embrace it all. 

The beautiful June kit just arrived this afternoon and I'm excited to start creating with it. 

Happy Scrapping!

{Explore} Layout with the "Enjoy the Journey" Classic Kit

Hi friends!  It's Meridy here today with you and I have my last layout with the "Enjoy the Journey" Classic Kit to share with you today.  I really love how this kit is so versatile and works with travel photos, outdoor photos, and in this case, hiking photos.  

I wanted to use lots of the patterned paper from this kit, so I decided to use strips of it as a background and built up the layers from there.

Next, I matted my photos on white cardstock and put them in place so I could start adding embellishments.  I did use a few brads that I had in my stash.  I also used a heart punch and some chipboard stickers from the kit.

The Thickers from this month's kit added texture to the embellishment clusters, and the mini blue alphabet stickers went really well with the Thickers to complete these subtitles.

I used the "Explore" chipboard sticker for the main title across the bottom of the layout.

The final touches of the layout were some journaling lines that I drew on the upper left hand side of the layout, and the brown trim from the kit added some texture to the upper right hand side of the layout.  Under the ribbon I used the mini roller stamp to stamp some "adventure" theme phrases.  And that finished off the layout.  Thank you for stopping by today!!!

travel pocket pages

Last week I shared a couple layouts from my vacation album and this week I'm sharing a few pocket pages that are supplementing those layouts. Traditional layouts were created using the Enjoy the Journey Classic kit and the pocket pages were created using the Enjoy the Journey Daily Diary Kit.

So here is one of the layouts I shared last week:

And here is a pocket page to go along with that layout (all pages are 9x12): 

And here is how they will look together in my album. 

Here is another layout I shared last week:

And a few pocket pages to go along with that page. A Christmas Story House was a definite favorite so we I took lots of photos ;) 

If you love the movie you must go see the house & museum!!

As I finish up my vacation album I might move things around a bit, add some more pocket pages, etc. But this is how they will look together so far:

I've found that I like to create one layout (almost like a title page) and then add pocket pages for all of my extra photos rather than creating a traditional 2 page layout. Having a variety of different pages adds visual interest to my albums!

Enjoy The Journey - ADVENTURE

Happy Canadian long weekend everyone!!! 

DANIELLE here with a new mixed media layout using the 

ENJOY THE JOURNEY Classic Kit

I had so much fun creating this layout. I started with the Kraft cardstock, and added some white gesso to the background. Once that dried, I splattered some Distress Spray in Blueprint Sketch.

Next I chose a handful of different pattern papers, and several circle punches, and started creating a layered circle pattern on my background. Once I had the circles glued into place, I stitched through some of them with some turquoise thread.

Next up I grabbed my Jane Davenport Coloured Pencils and coloured around every circle to add another pop of colour. I added some of the cork circle pieces, but lightened them up a bit with a White Gelato from my stash.

I used the Crate Paper Here and There roller stamp and a handful of different coloured inks and stamped phrases all over the background. 

To complete this layout I trimmed my page, and used my "Notebook" punch on the edges, then layered it on some yellow cardstock and stitched a messy border. 

I hope this inspired you to dig into your paper punches and create something new!

Vacation pages // Enjoy The Journey Classic Kit

Hey all! I'm back with some more vacation layouts from our family trip to Michigan last year. While we were there I wanted to give my kids (mostly my son who looooves baseball!) an opportunity to see an MLB game. So we headed to Comerica Park to see the Tigers play the Twins.

 

I love the little alpha stickers in the kit which are great for creating large titles. I grabbed those woodgrain thickers from a previous kit (I believe the December kit).

During our trip we also headed to Ohio to see A Christmas Story House (totally worth it by the way!!!). It was so much fun seeing the house from one of my all time favorite movies! They also had a museum and a pretty amazing gift shop. If you're anywhere near Cleveland, OH I highly suggest going to check it out!

As I mentioned last week, I'm using a 9x12 album for this trip which gives me a little bit more room than an 8 1/2x11 size. Both layouts were created using the Enjoy The Journey Classic Kit. Next week I'll share how I incorporate pocket pages using the Enjoy the Journey Daily Diary Kit in with my traditional pages.

Travel More banner with the Enjoy the Journey Classic Kit

Hello everyone!  Nicole here on the blog today to share with you a banner I put together using the Enjoy the Journey Classic Kit.  My family isn't known to take many trips and I can count on one hand how many we have gone on since my husband and I were married.  As our boys have started to get older I regret the trips we haven't taken.

When this months kit came I decided to make decor to remind me of our new goal of taking the trips. 

I cut from the cream cardstock the center banner with my Silhouette.  Using yarn I cross stitched the heart in the center of the banner and embellished with the Jillibean Soup felt flowers and a piece of flair.  The words on the flair read "Travel More".  :)

The pennants on either side of the center are pattern papers trimmed to size.  I decided to keep these two simple and then embellish the two outer pennants.  

(Pay no attention to my perpetual calendar . . . I have been awful at changing that thing . . . )

The outside pennants I cut from a couple of the neutral pattern papers.  These I embellished with die-cuts, cork, and rubons from the kit.  

Once the pennants were all finished I thread them on baker's twine from a previous Noel Mignon kit and tied ribbons from the kit in between the pennants.  I love the results of this cute banner and it will be a fun reminder through the summer of our push to do the trips, have no regrets, and make the memories.  

Thanks for stopping by the blog, Happy Scrapping!

{Sedona, Arizona} Layout with the "Enjoy the Journey" Classic Kit

Happy Monday!  It's Meridy here and I have another layout using the "Enjoy the Journey" Classic Kit to share with you today.  I loved the Simple Stories products that came in this month's kit, and really thought they would be perfect with some hiking photos that I had.

I wanted to use the starburst/graph patterned paper that came in this month's kit, but I wanted to make it look more like a "starburst".  So first, I cut strips of the coordinating patterned papers to cover every other "ray" and adhered those to each ray on the graph paper.

After I got the background of the layout completed, it was time to add the photos and embellishments. I made one embellishment cluster using the twill trim, a tag, flair, a die cut, and a chipboard sticker from the kit.  I finished that cluster off with a few stamped phrases from the roller stamp that came with this kit.

Next, it was time to work on the title.  I used the beautiful glitter Thickers and mini letter stickers that came in the kit, as the colors worked great with these papers, photos, and embellishments.  Next, I added in another piece of the twill trim, a heart die cut, a cork sticker,  and a couple of chipboard stickers.  I finished off this little cluster with a few more stamped sentiments.

I will do some journaling on the adjacent page in the album, as I still have some more photos of this hike.  I will share that layout next week.  Thank you for stopping by today!

Memories Of Our Getaway

Happy Mothers Day weekend everyone! Danielle here with a new layout using the "Enjoy The Journey" Classic Kit. In honour of Mothers Day, I chose to scrapbook a photo of a trip my Mom & I took 25 year ago.

My layout started with these super fun felt flowers in the kit

I started deconstructing the white one with a few nips from my scissors.

and here is the result.

I thought it added some great unexpected texture to my layout, so I used it as a trim at the top of the page. I adhered it with some tacky glue.

One of my favourite items from the kit this month is the Crate Paper Here and There roller stamp. I stamped different phrases using multiple shade of pink ink all around the layout.

I outlined the Dear Lizzy Thickers with my Sharpie Pen to help them "pop" a bit more.

And no page is complete without some random sequins and splatters from my stash!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful Mothers Day this weekend! Also don't forget, share what you are creating with this kit over on our Facebook Group.
