Papernation

Here at Papernation we sell a lot of travel journals to people who are jetting off to faraway places and to people who may be going camping in Devon for the weekend. Each will have great memories, unless of course you’ve picked the camping option and there’s torrential rain for the weekend, and then the memories perhaps aren’t so great – believe me.  

Anyway, as I had a great holiday in San Francisco at the end of last year I decided that I would have a go at creating my own travel journal. It’s still a work in progress but I thought that I’d give you a preview. It’s great fun cutting and sticking,  and it’s good to do something away from work, and it’s surprisingly relaxing.

Here are some of my first pages -  they might get a bit more sophisticated as I get more practised.

I cut some letters out of the  Sunday papers to make the words and I’m using  the travel album from our range. I had a desk easel calendar from Cavallini last year and it was full of vintage images of San Francisco so  I cut those out too – some of them mirror the photos that I took which is quite fun. I also had some butterfly stickers  which I used  to act as photo corners which brighten up the pages.  The photos of my album would have looked a bit dull on my desk and so I thought I’d use some world map gift wrap from Cavallini to act as the backdrop.  I think it’s set the photos off a real treat.
