Every year in Australia Stampin' Up! hold an amazing convention for Demonstrators to attend
and gather together to Create, Share and learn and 2011 was no different.
Convention 2011 was Melbourne
My first ever trip to Melbourne. I hope the following scrapbooking pages inspire you to journal your memories and travels. Scrapbooking is all about the photos and the memories. I like to when doing a specific album such as a trip, i like the album to tell the storey of the trip from start to finish. So i always start with a title page such as the page above. My 2nd and 3rd page, below is about the journey to get there, how, the when and the why.
THE JOURNEY BEGINS.
We boarded the train at Gosford to travel to the Domestic Terminal
in Sydney to fly down to Tullamarine Melbourne with Jetstar.
Below is the 3rd page which tells the reader that My friends and i arrived,
Journalling is a very important part of Scrapboooking, Journally traditionally
is all about writing to tell about the photo. Journalling can take on many forms
and as you can see in the page below I have used my flight ticket
to journal the date, the airline and the destination.
MY 4th page is all about why we were there. The Convention.
To add some different style of journalling that explained all about
the days that we were there for. The best way to do this was to add
the Agenda.
So when we arrived at convention we received our agenda on book in.
Attending Stampin' Up! convention has a tradition of swapping projects that you have made
with other talented Stampin' Up! demonstrators. So page 5 of my album is
CONVENTION - IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SWAPS
The 6th Page of my Album is about the accomodation and the
roomies. Hi Tamara, Cherie, Leisa and Sue.
We stayed on the 17th floor of the Vue Grande, Short Stay apartments
with view. Oh boy what a view, be sure and checkout some of my pages from part 2 of
Scrapbooking Convention 2011 Album.
When Scrapbooking an Album of an event, i like to predominantly
use double page layouts to tell the storey and i like each set opened
together. So i try to accent my pages similarly but not necessarily
exactly the same. The page above and below you would open the
album and view both of these pages together. Talking about the
accomodation, what was there, who was there and what we did.
Last year at convention, we socialised a lot. One of the evening
during drinks, i decided that each year we should creat a convention cocktail
and name it. I very proudly present to you
"CONVENTION 11"
our cocktail creation from attending Melbourne convention last year.
HOW TO MAKE CONVENTION 11 COCKTAIL:
1. 90 ml of Kahlua
2. Float 30ml of Pink Cowgirl on top of the Kahlua
3. Float 60mls of Baileys Irish Cream on top of your 30ml Pink Cowgirl.
WELLAH A NEW COCKTAIL CREATION NAMED CONVENTION 11.
Be sure and check back next year to see what cocktail creation we create.
here's the heads up, we will be in Canberra so it will be a doisy.
Album page 8, starts about our adventures whilst we were there.
One of the highlights of trip was having dinner on the Melbourne
Colonial Tram Restaurant. Highly recommend it.
Page 8 & 9 are photos of us waiting for the tram, on the tram,
the tram arrival. I have included some stamping on my page, because
i find Stampin' Up! have stamps for most occasions and something to suit
for most things. Journalling again has a mixed of written word on die cuts
and souveniers from the venue, instructions on how to view the journalling.
Page 10 & 11 is the following day, which was
Shopping and Site seeing. So my page layouts represents,
the photos of what i did, where i was and what i saw.
More so what i learned.
These two pages have extensive journalling on it. Due to the amount
of journalling i needed to add, i decided to type in all on the computer
and add it onto the pages so that i could get it all on there
instead of hand writting it. This is another acceptable form of journallling.
I love adding Designer series paper to my pages to accent them. I like to
add shape to the DSP. This i do in many ways, either by using a border punch,
tearing and distressing or adding ribbon for some ideas. You may also notice
i used corner punches on the background page as well.
Be sure and check back over the next week or two for Scrapbooking Stampin' Up! Australian Convention 2011 part 2, to see the final pages of the album.
