USE YOUR STUFF Challenge #305 - Travel

A couple of cards with a travel theme.

Card Base: Recollections
Brads: Recollections
Background stamp: Sizzix
Embossing folder: Sizzix
Ink: Ranger Distress Ink - Tim Holtz - Aged Mahogany (right card) and Vintage Photo (left card)
Ink: Memento
Twine: Tim Holtz

I stamped the background with Distress ink on watercolour paper. I used a paintbrush and water to create the washed-out background effect. Then I restamped with the Memento ink.

Fall in New Hampshire - 2017

We took a week long mini trip to New Hampshire and Maine last fall.  The weather and colours were gorgeous!

The first page is going through Mt. Washington State Park. The second page is at our hotel.

This Close to My Heart Workshop designed by our consultant Julie Carriere was actually held last October. But I missed it so I completed it this past weekend.

Using the kit - Falling for You

To colour in the gold heat embossed leaves I used pencil crayons: Prismacolor
I find this layout a bit busy but it's my fault. On my consultant's example, the background stenciling and stamping of the leaves are much more subtle than mine.  
I also changed it up a bit by adding a journaling box on page 2. 

The solid feathers are cut from gold paper (not CTMH).  

Waupoos - 2017

A friend came for a visit while I was at my Mom's so we took her to a local winery.

Journaling: 

Driving home from Mom’s, I encountered a very bad thunderstorm. It was so dark and stormy, I decided to spend the night in Westport. The next day I was greeted with this beautiful sight.  

Universal Studios - 2017

Random photos of hubby at Universal Studios (Florida).

Done at a Close to My Heart Workshop designed by our consultant, Julie Carriere using the Star Gazer kit.

I didn't change up this layout.

...to the moon and back - 2018

Trying to take some selfies with my hubby. In the third photo he's starting to look scared...

Done at a Close to My Heart Workshop designed by our consultant, Julie Carriere using the Star Gazer kit.

I made the 1st page of the 3rd layout into a single layout.  I changed it slightly by making the moon yellow and bigger.  

Bud Lite - 2017

Someone likes their Bud Lite!

Done at a Close to My Heart Workshop designed by our consultant, Julie Carriere using the Star Gazer kit.

This should have been the second page of the 1st layout but I used it as a single layout instead.  

Mission Space (Disney World) - 2017

Done at a Close to My Heart Workshop designed by our consultant, Julie Carriere using the Star Gazer kit.

You aren't allowed to take photos inside the ride, so I downloaded that photo from the internet.

The first page is from the first layout and the second page is from the third layout.

Mickey punch is not Close to My Heart. Can't remember who makes it.
