Vacation Photos Made Easy

Can you believe we’re just days away from August? Hopefully, you’ve been taking wonderful summer and vacation photos. If you’re like me, you take a gazillion (yes, that’s a real word!) and then wonder how you’ll ever get your arms around getting them all scrapped. I want to share something that has worked well for me – use one line of papers and embellishments for the entire project!

Last fall, we had a wonderful opportunity to travel to London and Paris. It was fabulous, but I was overwhelmed just thinking about how I’d get the photos and stories down that I wanted to capture, let alone actually getting everything organized. Basic Grey’s “Wander” line to the rescue! It’s a travel-themed collection, but you could do this with any set of papers that makes you happy.

Of course, I added some cool travel 3-D stickers, but stayed with the Wander collection throughout the majority of this trip. Even for this page where I have lots of red, white & blue patriotic-themed paper in my stash that I could have used, I just kept rolling with the papers I had in the collection.

The key is to stick with the collection and whatever embellishments you pull. Do this up front and it makes it a less stressful process to match paper and photos. Now, you can focus on telling those great vacation stories! And isn't that the best part anyway?
