DCWV and Tombow Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to Precocious Paper! If you just arrived from Latrice Murphy's blog, you are in the right place. If you just happened to stop by, we'd love to have you join in the fun by starting the Gold and Cork blog hop with DCWV here.


We are going on a little family day trip soon and I wanted to create a place for all of my photos, receipts, postcards, etc. from our adventure. DCWV's kraft Insta Photo Fun Album was the perfect base. Using the Gilded and Cork stacks, as well as Insta photo pockets and bags, tags and envelopes from my stash, I put together this travel album:


It isn't complete because our memories are yet to be made, but I did put together a little kit for finishing it up. I made a set of "stickers" out of the DCWV papers. To make them self-adhesive, I used Tombow's pastel adhesive dots. I love that they are mounted on the backing individually - perfect for this use!



I used Tombow's Extreme Adhesive to adhere the patterned papers to the front of my album. I also used the Extreme Adhesive to glue patterned papers together, creating more pages for my book. I think that stuff may be my new favorite tape runner! Tombow's Foam Tape is in my stash, ready to adhere my photos. I want each snapshot from our special day to lift off the page :).


Besides DCWV's Gilded Stack, I also used a map patterned paper from one of the specialty packs available at JoAnn stores. The polka dots come from a DCWV greeting card. The number tags are from Ikea - I love their new party and stationery stuff!


I'll be sure to share the album when it is all finished. Give me a couple of weeks, though ;).


Thank you for stopping by today! Be sure to comment on all the blogs along the hop to be eligible to win the Tombow and DCWV prizes (entries accepted through March 31st, winner announced April 1st). If you haven't had a chance to play with these products yet, you are missing out! Enjoy the rest of the hop, as well as your weekend!

Tessa

    Love that you have stickers ready to use as you need them. They are all so pretty.
    Great album. Good idea to be prepared for the future - just add pictures and some journaling and you are done.
    thanks for sharing.

    That's a pretty great idea, having the album ready to go BEFORE the trip. I love it! I need to do better about saving all the fun little things, tickets, etc. that we stockpile from our trips. Beautiful cover!

    I love your whole album. What a great job. I always find it hard creating layouts or albums before the pictures. You did an amazing job!

    What a great way to stay organized for a vacation!! Mine was to use the front zippered part of a suitcase to keep all the scrapbooking stuff!

    This is a great album Tessa. What a great idea to make an album in advance of a planned trip/outing. (It would also be a good way to include the children in anticipation of an upcoming trip to keep them busy, prior to it.) I have yet to get my hands on the Extreme adhesive. We don't have a lot of craft stores in our area, so certain products take some time to get here. Good job.
