One simple holiday's album

School's holiday are here!

Some have it for couple weeks,

and some (like my kids),

have it more than two months

till the end of the Eid's holiday!!

Ayayai.

While holiday almost equal with travel time

for us with kids,

travel albums become essential

in recording families' memories.

Not thinking myself as an

travel albums' expert or stuff,

but sharing tips with you all

who may be overwhelmed when starting

with how to put the journey into album,

won't hurt anyone, I hope.

As a sample for travel album's tips,

I picked the Midway October Afternoon's 

series of papers, and the

Here & Now Chapter as the base.

The package are wonderful,

suit the holiday theme,

and you can add more pages if need to.

No need to make it

more complicated than it is.

Last June when we had long weekend's

holiday, me and hubby took the kids

and our family's buddies to Sing.

Visited Universal Studio there

seems like a little bit postponed

after we visited the big one in Osaka.

But the fun was no less.

For the cover,

all I did was making the title

and embellish it. 

For me,

uneven edges always give interesting

and intriguing taste for an album.

But even for the simplest one,

you have to think carefully

how the whole album will be look like

from in front, after it's done.

I always go back and forth opening and

closing the album every time one page added

so I know exactly how it'll

be appeared from the front.

Now, for the inside pages...

Find a good page to show off the tickets 

you brought home from the journey.

A good scrapper will not forget

to grab any brochures she found and other

'sampah-sampah ga keruan lainnya'

to put inside the album.

Find an interesting way to show them.

Like making a paper belt and slip it in..

Or, the easiest way is making a pocket

and tuck them in.

Not only brochures and tickets,

theme parks always always sell post cards

or cards. Don't forget to buy them.

And make them part of your album.

It is ideal if you have the papers

before you start the journey,

so you can take a peek inside the papers

and knew exactly what kind of photos needed

that go well with the album.

I looked at the series and took notice

of the 'popcorn' pages inside,

so when I was at the theme park,

I targeted to find the popcorn's car.

The result was satisfying.

Easy peasy, right?

No fuss, no mess.

Finished the album in two night's scrap times.

If you need more challenges,

of course you can add a container for

your finished album.

I'm thinking about this tin travel luggage

will do the charm.

If you travel to many places for days

and need inspiration on how to make

more mini albums so all your photos

are not going wasted,

you probably want to check here.

Wishing you all a pleasant and fun

school's holiday seasons!!

Travel it.

Scrap it.

Love it.
