Incorporating Maps
A recent article over at Get It Scrapped! covered ideas for scrapbooking road trips. For my contribution, I chose to trace the route on a map. Our Spring Break vacation was one big road trip, covering 1600 miles and 26 hours, 39 minute of travel time in the car. Whew! I printed a map from MapQuest highlighting our route and used brads to pinpoint each destination. The six smaller photos represent our stops.
I’ll use this page to introduce the trip in my travel album and follow it up with layouts about each place we visited. Most of the products are from Jillibean Soup. You can read the rest of the road trip article here. There's some great inspiration, so I hope you go check it out!
Love your LO... Like the idea of pinning the stop points. This would make a very good cover page for my trips. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLove the pp used here... gorgeous colors and beautiful layout Sue... hugs..xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat is a really clever idea, Sue! The intro photos really draw you in, wanting to see what you did in each of the stops. Boy, a lot of time in the car!
ReplyDeleteThat's a big, big road trip! and a perfect way to get it down on paper
ReplyDeletelove the map- the cutest embellishment! great job
ReplyDeleteSounds like it is going to be a fabulous album.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea for using this layout as an intro and then doing pages for each section. I am doing something like that for my mother-in-law's Ireland album.
Love how you added the map and highlighted your path :)
Love your page! My family spent 5 weeks in Kansas City, and Jack Stack's was our favorite place for BBQ!
ReplyDeletelove everything about this layout! off to check this link!
ReplyDeleteI want to go with you. I LOVE road trips! (But my kids have never loved traveling; they just like to "get there"!) Beautiful intro page.
ReplyDeleteSo cool! What a great way to document the trip!
ReplyDeleteI am glad I am on trend and didn't even know it, LOL. I am just finishing a layout including a visual view panoramic "map" as scene from high atop a building. Great layout.
