Inspiration: November 2020 Page Maps sketch
Oh, how I love having to set the alarm at 4 a.m. to catch a flight at Stupid o'clock, as my cousin would put it! Those selfies were taken on the tub in London on our way to take our flight back home and my eyes are still pretty red from getting up way too early. I was happy to revisit the Going Places collection from Simple Stories and its lovely, bright colours. I followed an old Page Maps sketch to help place the base shapes and then I let the images and embellishments from the collection guide my design.
The luggage pile was fussy cut from a Snap card. I also used Snap cards for the Travel log journaling block and the Go-See-Do image above my pictures, on which I added the title using alphabet stickers. The London bus was fussy cut from patterned paper. There was a double-decker bus in the Bits & Pieces pack, but I like the smaller version with the London word on it. While looking for my Snap cards, I found some veneer shapes from an older traveling collection also from Simple Stories, so I used the travel word, the little camera and the plane to embellish the page. I covered the camera with yellow embossing powder and added a little square punched out of gold glitter paper. I backed the camera with orange and added an art pebble in the center. (I see that my art pebbles are starting to yellow - yellowing embellishments is one of my biggest pet peeves!) I added a few cardstock stickers and enamel dots as well.
