Europe scrapbook album

after i finished the last taipei album, i started to think about making another album also for a trip, then i immediately think of my europe trip many many years ago with my friends. we stayed in europe for a whole month, we took a lot a lot of pictures, i think more than 600, i started organizing the photos, but how can i put all those precious moments in one album!

this album i bought from a paper store in hk which already includes few pre make pages, so i place those photos that i like so much in the first few pages.

 

the pre make pages are quite nice and neat,  i can follow some of the frame and amend a little bit that i can place more photos in it, i also put some stickers which come from the album as well. like the last album, i separate some photos in a "transport" categories which was a very important part in the trip, because we have to take a lot of different kind of transport going through six countries in europe.

 

after these few pages, i started the journey, first stop is italy, as the last album, i put a lot of photos in a page and also the bus tickets, train tickets and the post card which i bought there, i think this is a good way that i can show off those beautiful post cards.

 

you can find a photos size journaling in the page, this is taken out from the old photo album which i insert together with the photos, this fit the pocket, i dont want to waste it and write again, i put together now in the pages as well, this is also part of the memories.

 

heading to swiss, this is a very very nice place and i love swiss so much. when thinking of swiss, i always think of the color blue because of the ice color and of course the beautiful sky color as well, so i use blue as the background color for the part of swiss (may be you can find that i use red for those pages for the part of italy). in the pages of swiss, can you find out the telephone card and the coaster?

 

i dont want to have hundred pages in an album (of course cannot), i tried to use 4 pages for each place, so i need to through away some photos which is quite the same.

 

since we stayed a shorter time in holland, it comes out only two pages which i highlighted the two important visiting point in holland, but i still putting the tickets and also some of the tour map cut outs in the pages, its fun.

we have been legoland in windsor, this is a very happy funny place, we took a lot of funny pictures there, i really want to put them all in the album.  i punched out many circles and put in the pages which i wanted to arrange the page like the pattern of a piece of lego brick, i love this bright color which can make the pages more shinny and funny.

 

can you see any different in these few pages? may be you will find they are more neat with planning and arrangement in the pages, these few pages which are an important milestone in my scrapbooking life. i start to learn scrapbooking online and also bought some paper from HK Memory Chest, the paris paper just fit my pages travelling in paris.  i like these pages, its look more neat but still can includes many photos as well as the tickets.

 

the big photo in one of the pages is taken by the park when we were riding the roller coaster (i think you must have some at home), they are always quite expensive but you will buy it anyway, scrapbook page is a very good way to show off this kind of photos which is always big enough that you cannot put inside the pockets of normal photo album.  you can see i put also the packing cut outs in the pages which is a very good embellishment.

 

at the end of the album, i put the air ticket slips onto the last page of the album cover, its nice to have the alphabet stickers which are so colorful, "to be continue......", seems something wrong here :(
