Hey guys!
So here is the official thread for the 4 Week Vacation Travel Album Class.
Post your questions for me, Rebecca Trump, here - OR just post your comments and links to your albums as you start them.
This week - it's all about decorating the cover for your album!
You can visit the Class , and download the PDF, if you wish.
Hope you enjoy this class - I know I am really excited to get this album scrapped for my aunt | |

Well, so far we've got one thing in common: stacks of photos sorted with sticky notes. From there, we diverge. I hadn't realized this was going to be a small album. Although I usually make minis, I've already started a 12X12 for travel pages & was hoping this class would provide the incentive I need to finish it. I'll keep checking the postings though, in case I can scale up some of the ideas & LOs. At this point, I'll take any inspiration I can get, as some of these piles of photos have been sitting around since 1988.

I love your album, and I just purchased the same papers, MM & LYB travel collections. I am so looking forward to this class, my DD is going on vacation next week with her Aunt and Cousin, and I am making two gift mini albums(6x6) as a thank you for taking my her along.

Thanks girls!!!
PjPea, I think you can definitely do a 12X12 if you want. It does not have to be a mini. I just chose to do a mini album for my aunt so she can keep it on display in her home.
And yes, aren't those MM and LYB papers yummy?! | |

this does look like a fun thing to try ...
Will this project allow for incorporating a lot of pics? my experience with mini's that pics get condensed. I have 2 yrs of a fam vacations to scrap and I'm thinking this might be the way to get it done, but I probably have 300+ pics for each vacation. I know I need to condense, but am wondering if this project will showcase ALOT of pics.
hope this makes sense ... looking forward to the next lesson already |

I've been looking forward to this class!
Is it okay if I do mine a little different? It's sort of a vacation-themed mini, but it's for a friend that I visited in Oregon and about the time we spent together. So I guess it is more of a "friends" album rather than "travel/vacation." |

Here is my cover page for my travel album, I am using the WRMK 6X6 album, so I could not decorate the outside, so I made a cover page instead. Here TFL

Glad ya'll are excited for this class!!!
As I type this, the banner for this class is up top and it's totally making me !
Valerie!!! So glad you asked about using LOTS of photos... I have a neat idea that i will be sharing during week three about how to include LOTS of photos in a mini album - are you psychic?!
I will be sharing 2 different ways to do this during week three, so stay tuned
Monica, I think your album will be a wonderful gift to your friend...to me, sometimes just spending time with friends is a vacation in itself - it does not have to be about the destination/travel, at all! Glad you are doing your own spin on things!
Bon! Wow!!! I love the colors and mix of pattern papers you used! Perfect cover page!
Alrighty, keep em' coming! | |

Can't wait for next lesson!

I am still trying to find an album, but I will be looking for one this week while on my girls trip. But I went ahead and made either a cover for it or the title page. Hope that this is okay! Ohio trip
Thanks Rebecca and 2peas for this class!
I can't wait to finally finish this album! |

I am getting so many ideas from this class, I do not have any photos yet, as my DD is on her trip right now, so I am anxiously waiting to see her photos...but I did make this envelope to put in the album for pamphlets or ticket stubbs. I have a hard time making pages with no photos, they really inspire me. So I will wait to see her photos on Sunday.Thanks for a great class !!!

I have looked at these threads more than any body else, I bet.
I'm using your ideas on a mini Christmas album from 2000 and just got really started last night.
Thanks for the class! |
