Travel journal to London. :-)

My oldest son, Edvin, got a trip to London as a gift for his 18th birthday, and this weekend we set of to London. We are so excited, and look so much forward to the trip. So, I decided, last minute to create a travel journal for the trip that Edvin can keep as a memory. 

I dug trough som old stuff to find a journal I could use, and then I stumbled across this wonderful pre- made travel journal i think is designed by Ali Edwards. I think it must have stayed in my cupboard for about 8 years waitng for the right time. It made me so happy to find it just on the right time. I have decorated the cover with some patterned paper by the Danish company ridderholmdesign.dk the stuff I used inside is some travel-pieces by Panduro and some paper and stuff (probably) by Ali Edwards designed to fit the journal. 

Now we are ready to go to London, ready to journal and put in pictures. Can't wait. :-)

Thanks for stopping by. Love Gudrun. 

oh dear ...

THE Journey

 Hi my friends.

Thank you for all your kind wishes on my journey / vacation to california.

I tell you: we had the best time ever!!

It was all gorgeous and beautiful!

We enjoyed the time at a beautiful Hotel at the beach of Chanal Island, Oxnard, and got to stay a lot at the beach.

 We also came to visit a lot of fun places: Six flags, Sea World in san Diego and Disney Land.

It was all super fun and lovely.

 We went on a road trip to Sequoia to see the giant trees, to Yosemite national park to se the beautiful falls and nature and to Death Valley to see the desert and to feel the heat ( 122F ) ( 50 degrees celsius)

 We also visited the beautiful city: San Fransisco, wich we all emmediately fell in love with.

This was just a tiny little glimpse of my journey.

I'm sure I will tire you with more ... and of course all the photos will keep me busy scrapbooking for quite a while.... ;)

Thank you for popping by.

Thanks for all your kind comments. Thanks for all your thoughts and love - it really means a lot!!

ready for the adventure

Hi my friends.

Just wanted to pop in and say happy, happy summer!

I'm ready for vacation. Ready for our big journey and adventure to Los Angeles, California.

I have created this travel journal. Inspired by the "on the road" minialbum by Ali edwards.

I will try to keep my little notes and memories in this book, and add my thoughts and capture the moments along the way.

this is just a few of the pages in the book I wanted to share with you.

Now big hugs you all!!

There and back again ...

Hi my friends.

Back home after the most wonderful journey.

I tell you, my trip to Mykonos, Greece was SO exciting and wondferful.

Being able to meet people that are SO dedicated to scrapbooking and photography, talking to people from so many places, create together with people that love to create as much as I do.

Meet friends, get new friends, stay at a beautiful hotel, getting the best service and food ever ... just feeling good

and

being able to teach amongst the most well known scrapbooking teachers and most incredibly talented people.

I was SO honored to have my little mini clas, teaching the girls my 3ndypapir minialbum.

And as I LOVE to teach this was a wonderful experience.

My first time teaching in english ...

all the ladies and boy :) attending my class were all pure kindness :) and we had great fun. :) You can find more pictures and a written step-by-step instruction on this album at the 3ndypapir blog

I'll be back soon with some of the projects I created at the event too :)
