What I'm Working on Wednesday

So during Canada Day weekend we took an 8 hour drive out to the Humber Valley Resort with a friend of ours. Best part of the 8 hour drive-M sat in the front with our friendly driver & I sat in the back and scrapbooked.

Yep, you read that right. I scrapbooked. I packed a little kit before leaving with a few key elements and thought I would share my packing strategy and show you what I worked on.

So here's my little case-filled with some stamps and a glass block, some washi tape, a few bottles of mist, some little embellishments, the usual tools like scissors, ink pads tape and dots, a little punch. I also brought along my bag of scraps.

 You can see the little album that I worked on sitting on my knee to the right. I knew my 'workspace' would be limited so I brought along something small to work on. I ended up taking out most of the supplies and laying them on the car seat beside me-

Of course, it got much messier than that-and I used the clear bin as my 'workspace'.And I was very productive too. Have you ever worked on something in the car or on a place or train?! How did you pack?! I'd def do it again.

This album still isn't finished- it's an ongoing project but here's what I managed to do in a few hours on the trip...

You'll notice that it's simple with lots of repeating elements. I've been using a lot of the same embellishments and letters to keep it simple and cohesive even though I'm working on it over a period of time. Lots of little pics and stories of Eugene's adventures in his puppy days.

What are you working on? What's on your table right now?!

  3. I've never had it together enough to scrap on the road but I love the idea. And in the car?! Girl, your'e a rockstar! haha! On my next trip I'm going to try this, if not on the actual road, at least in our hotel or outside. TFS!

  7. Super cute. I scrapbooked my December Daily in the car before. Not easy, but do-able! Is that an Amy Tangerine album?
