Wanderlust

I still have a pretty serious case of wanderlust that I just can't seem to shake! So I was drawn to create this card with map patterned paper and Reverse Confetti's Globe Confetti Cuts. 

For the past seven years the hubs and I have had a vacation each summer while Christopher went to camp for a week, but this year he didn't get in. There are just too many campers and too few spots. I thought I'd be just fine with it, but I really miss those few days Dan and I've had together. It makes me really appreciate how lucky we are to have those memories. 

Fortunately, we still have our annual family beach trip next month. We're all really looking forward to that and counting down the weeks and days. 

And...at the end of the year there will be a week camp session that we think Christopher has a good chance of getting into.

For now I'll use my paper crafting as a little escape and daydream about traveling. Maybe I'll create a couple scrapbook pages of previous vacations? This adorable globe would be perfect for that! 

Reverse Confetti - SFYTT #26

Hey there 'fetti fans! What do you think of the new Reverse Confetti stamp and die releases this week? Jennifer del Muro hit them outta the ball park, didn't she?!?!  Lovin' them and so excited to have them to create this month's SFYTT (Sketch for You to Try) card. 

I combined the Globe, Woodgrain and Documented Confetti Cuts for this travel card design. I like the combination. What do you think? Fun? 

Any travel plans in the future for you? We're looking forward to our annual summer beach trip...coming up real soon. Here's to exploring, vacationing, family time and crafting with Reverse Confetti stamps and dies. :)

Get Out of Town!

It's that time of year again when school is out for the summer so we take off and have some fun! And time flies when you're having fun, right? Perhaps documenting some of your travels while you're away will help create more lasting memories? I like to carry a journal with me so I can write about some of the things we see or special moments we have and I love to bring one of those mini staplers with me so I can staple receipts and little mementos right onto the pages of my book.

At http://www.cardblanc.etsy.com/ you can find journals for your vacation or maybe you know of a couple about to embark on their honeymoon? What a great gift the above set would make! Well, enjoy the summer and happy trails!
