Dover Pages Complete!

The Dover section of my England Mini is now complete.

Light applause all around =)

No but seriously, I'm so happy to have this album at least started.

I haven't counted and really don't want to know, how many photos from my year in London, that have yet to be scrapbooked. (I'm guessing around 3-4,000...)

I'll get to them when I can get to them.

But believe me when I say, I sure am happy when I do!

This album is from Making Memories and I thought it was perfect for my random trampings about England. And below are all of the pages I made from just one of several day trips that we made. It's going to be a nice chunky album!

These last are a few of the newest pages.
I took this one and only photo of the reputed white cliffs of Dover. I have no idea where I read that page, but for some reason it stuck with me.

I wanted to play with texture on this page, so I used my border punches and several sheets and shades of white cardstock.

This last page, I played with fun citrus-y colors and some Studio Calico stickers. That green polka dot might be one of my most favorite papers, it's just such a great shade of green!

And just like that, it's done! Well, at least the portion from Dover is, and I'm very happy about that.

Dover Favorites

Aaaannnd...I'm back with some more for my England 8x8 Mini book. The album I purchased came with these sweet manila page dividers, so I used one as the basis for a page.

There will be no blank spots in this mini album!

It was a super simple quick and easy page, just a few strips of patterned paper, a red label stamped & heat embossed with Rouge Zing and some quick and easy journaling.

I love that the shape and sheen of the heat embossing on this label is vaguely reminiscent of the iconic telephone booth.

And onto a 2 page vintage spread that I love! It features some goodies from the Mind the Gap SC kit (brown patterned paper and greenish tinged buttons).

I had no idea that there were these secret tunnels built under Dover Castle in WW2. Since Dover is just across the way from Calais in France, it must have been a prime location for them back in the day.

They still had everything set up as if the war was still going on. It was pretty awesome to see and explore.

And I finally got use the "Keep Calm & Carry On" stamp...and in the correct context!!!

Only 2 more pages left for this section of the mini book. I'll update soon with all of Dover pages.
