There's a part of me that can't believe that I went on a trip without blogging about it. I mean, I don't go on trips very often at all. In fact, this was the first time I've been on an airplane since before Bubba was born! But, I have to accept that this was the season of life I was in and it didn't happen. There's nothing I can do about it now, unless I want to "cheat" and go post date a bunch of posts. (I do not.)
What I can do is post the pages I scrapped about it! Hey check it out! Thanks to Project Life I went on a trip and it got put in the scrapbook mere weeks after it happened. I can't say that about most of the trips I've taken.
I'm only going to post one page of these at a time because there are so many.
Here's the overview of the page.
I found an image of the Chicago flag online and added text. The font is Lobster.
I made the text/cloud background myself. The retro boarding pass I saw on someone else's PL and I loved it. After MUCH Googling, I was able to recreate it for myself. I love this card! The typewriter font is Batik Regular.
More made by me flair! I'm saving the cute ones and when I get enough I'll offer them as a freebie. The font in pink is Channel.
This is the lobby of our hotel. Amazing, isn't it? The peacock image I used was everywhere - on the carpet, embroidered on pillows, on the paperwork. You know where it isn't? Online. I couldn't find it anywhere! Luckily my friend Suzy saved the little paper top that they put on the drinking glasses in the rooms (FYI - don't EVER drink from those without washing them first - signed, former hotel employee) and it had the logo. I scanned it and was able to recolor the image for my card.
Some details from around the hotel. They still use a vacuum mail drop system that's trimmed in brass. SO PRETTY. The doily background is from a free digital kit offered by Persnickity Prints by Design House Digital.
I'll be back with the next page later. :)
