My other new state page is for Idaho. In June 2023 I hosted a meetup for National Parks Across America. While I did not get enough members to make it an official meetup, the 5 of us who got together did have a great experience. We had a ranger talk and then explored several of the overlooks. One couple and I had lunch at a nearby diner before heading on our way. That event is now the 2nd Saturday in June so if you want to join us, check the forums. We are already planning the 2024 event!
I based this page on a layout I found on Pinterest. The background paper on the original layout reminded me of this yellow vacation paper from Old CM. I like the cartoon nature of the paper--it is such a happy design! I used a Cricut to cut the border for the state. While I couldn't make it a frame to my selfie, I was able to use it for the backdrop to one photo and as a journal box as well. The baked potato and title were also cut from the Cricut. The baked potato usually requires some explanation when people look at the page. Hopefully, now that I have a photo of a baked potato next to it, people will figure out what it is supposed to be.
Hi Connie, I would like to start my national park scrapbook by state. I like your pages. I will just keep adding parks when I go along. Should I do a state page before I do my park pages. Thanks Connie
ReplyDeleteShayne, you can certainly arrange your pages and books as you like. Keep in mind that some states have more parks than others. For example, Delaware only has one park (though it has several locations to visit). The book you see above is separate from my other travel albums. It's more about whether I get to all 50 states. I have just one page per state and add photos when I visit (I'm at about 38 states so far). I have saved the inspiration I used for all my pages which you can see here: https://www.pinterest.com/pennguins/scrapbook-ideas-ive-used/50-states-album/. Happy Scrapping!
