2 Terrific G45 Travel Albums!
We know many of you have travel photos from this past summer. So many adventures, so many photographs to scrapbook! Well, Alexandra Morein and Katelyn Grosart have great ideas for those trip photos with fabulous travel albums today.
First, this is a gorgeous album by the talented Alexandra! We love her use of fabric on the cover.
"Having wrapped the chipboard covers in fabric, I tea dyed and stained all of the inside pages, stamped them with the travel themed stamps and then used the Cinch to bind them on a coil. To embellish the notebook and to create the pockets, I used the Safari Adventure paper line, as well as the ATC and the square tags of an ivory color. I used the G45 washi tape set to cover certain areas of the pages, as well to create interesting and nice borders on the tags and on the separator pages.
There are so many beautiful images to cut out from the gorgeous Safari Adventure papers, that you don’t know from which to begin with, you want them all on whatever project you are working on.
I plan to add photos in the places where the ephemera cards are placed now, and to use the cards for journaling instead.
I have a short video walkthrough of the notebook in case you want to have a better look inside. You can also find more pictures of this project on my personal blog. I hope you will stop by." ~Alexandra

Next is this amazing album full of Katelyn's photos from her trip on an Alaskan cruise using our Square Tag Album! Love this!
"Using the Square Pocket & Tags Album in Red Numbers, it made for the perfect album to document my recent Alaskan Cruise. After I had decided on the album, I combined Cityscapes as well as some staples to create a beautiful finished piece that stores all of my favourite photos from the trip.
Tip: To finish the tags that come in the book, add paper and ribbon to the tags.
Tip: Add a stripe of washi tape to the top of the pocket to add more interest to the page." ~Katelyn
