Travel Theme








I have been wanting to post these cards for awhile.  I decide to do them all in one post as they all came from the same sheet of paper.  I was LUCKY enough last summer to find a HUGE pack of Me and My Big Ideas ~ 12x12 Journey paper.  IT IS AWESOME!  I LOVE it!  I wish I had 2 of them (I hoard like that!)  It has some awesome collage travel prints and some really pretty print sheets as well.  The first and last cards are 5x7 and the middle ones are 4 1/4X5 1/2.  The 2 larger ones used pieces that were not large onough to fill the card front, so I pieced the paper.  I took a print from the pack and layered either the PTI Rickrack die or the Eyelet Lace.  I LOVE how that looks intentional.  It is a good tip for when you have a piece of paper that isn't big enough that is you have a border of some kind you can layer or piece over it and make it look like that was the plan! I used Bakers twine in red & brown and a lot of button twine on the cards,  Several have tags that I made with snips of paper from the pack and other trinkets, buttons and tickets.  If you have a specific question about a card, ask  I won't bore you with a list of instructions for each card.  If you find this paper pack, BUY IT ~ You will LOVE it!
Thank you for looking at my blog!
