Alberta Mini Album... The Rest of the Story


I also added a compass to represent the sense of feeling lost and needing some help to find my way driving around on this adventure. I chose bright colors for the Mini Album to show the fun and excited (to see my husband) nature of the trip as well as to be inviting for someone to pick up the Mini Album to have a peek. Yet I added distressing to soften the look. I uses flowers as one of my main embellishment features as we were just finishing summer, and worked within colors that are representative of summer (yellow, green, red and orange) yet may also flow into representing fall (gold, orange, red). I carried over the arrow theme with chipboard arrows on the pages as well. I added some bling with glitter and rhinestones for a little fun. I wanted to use all my chipboard page surfaces and even had to add a page, but did not want my photos on the back page to get damaged over time so I made a protective back cover out of opaque acrylic. The pages are busy but I think over all it turned out well.
