i love traveling and i am really looking forward to time with my Martha.  The vacation/holiday isn't too far away and i want to spend most of it relaxing with her.  I also want to document every minute of it. So why not soak up that precious time together in an artsy travel mini album? 





After misting some of the pages yesterday, i went back in & added in some washi tape.  This helps give the pages some structure plus it's just pretty!  i didn't add it to all the pages but just a few here & there.  i also added some Earl Grey Maya Mist splats to every page to tie them all together (not pictured).  

Now that the interior pages have backgrounds, i am ready to travel.  i will leave the cover plain until i get back and decide what the title will be based on how i fill it up.  The next step is to decide what to bring with me to fill the album.  i can keep it really simple if i wish. 

Simple includes:

Mini Album

Glue stick

Small pair of scissors

A Cocoa Daisy label stamp & stamp block

Archival Ink (Wendy Vecchi's Watering Can)

Waterproof Black Pen

A little above simple is nice too.  It gives me a little more flexiblity in my pages.  

The next level includes:

Simple kit

Washi Tapes (i'm keeping with my grey theme)

Small Heart Punch

Maya Road White Mini Kraft Jotter Tags

Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher

i can kick it up a notch and bring one kind of medium with me.  So many choices but what to bring?

NeoColorII Watercolor Crayons

Faber Castell India Ink Brush Pens

Faber Castell Colored Pencils

i don't know what i am going to bring just yet but i have time to decide.  i will coordinate it with the Art Journal i am bringing.  i want to limit myself so i don't overthink it.  

and that's my advice to you...don't overthink it!
