My Travel Mini Brag book!

We are going to Georgia this summer and when we went last year I brought all the supplies with me so we could make a scrapbook of our trip.Well that never happened, so I decided I would pre-make the book and mail it ahead of time so while we are there with Grandma and Nana the only thing they have to do is write notes and add the photos!

I am so happy with how this came out!
The size is 9x6 I used office envelopes so there would be a place to hold tickets, mementos etc and added cardstock between each page! it is 22 pages!! it took me about 4 hours to complete. I might have to make one more, so that we have one and the Grandmas have one!













I used scallops so I can add just our faces to each one!

ALL papers are from scraps! 
Scallops from Accent Essentials
Swiss Dots Cuttlebug

    Carri, that is so cute and colorful. Very nice. Where is the opening on the envelope -- at the top? Looked like one of the pages still had the flap on it. Did you alternate?

    Really?!!? 4 hours? It would have taken 4 hours in the first page only, lol!! Great job, this is soooo cute. I like the spring like look to it.
    Ps. I just love that little squirrel button. Is that homemade?

    OMG! 4 hours?? How about 4 days if I was making it! ha It is wonderful and I definitely think you need to make another one for the grandmas. Otherwise you might not make it home with this one...because they would steal it!! lol
    Tutorial please!! Hugs, stacy
