Portland 2015 | Almost there!

I know, Portland this and Portland that. I'm fully aware of my obsession with this city. It's become my home away from home. :) 

I'm about 90% done with documenting my trip with Kelly and Jamaica. It's taken some time but it's been fun to look at all my photos and reminisce. Isn't that one of the better parts of putting together a travel album? 

So here is what I have done so far. I will also note that I loosely stuck to the order of days but I didn't stress over it. It was all about the feel and grouping of photos. I also haven't done a lot of journaling since I did most of that in my travel journal. 

Sometimes after I photograph a layout, I either want to add something or change it completely. I've been wanting to paint a map of the area we explored…I think that pink paper will be perfect for that. 

Same with this page. I liked the plain patterned paper but now it looks a little too plain for me. I may add in something and make a layout.

Just a few more pages and it'll be DONE. I'm itching to get to my trip from last year! 

Supplies | Studio Calico 9x12 album, Studio Calico 9x12 page protectors, Studio Calico Sammy add on, Studio Calico Carolina Moon PL kit, ABM 9x12 album dividers, ABM Messy Box, Kelly Purkey Take me away kit (unavailable), Jamaica Makes Duly Noted faves, Paislee Press Picture + Words no 18, Let's Go journal cards.

JUNE//DONE

In order to not fall too behind on my PL, I decided to work backwards. The idea of starting where I left off was in no way motivating. So I started where I wanted which was June. I indulged in nothing but PL for a whole weekend. So nice. And now I'm starting in on July and will go back to April + May when I get around to it. Not going to sweat it.

Summer of 69

I pretty much had that tune in my head the whole time I worked with August's kits. "It as the summer of 69....ooohhhhh". Yes, I'm a bonified craft nerd. Here are the layouts I created for this months kit.
