Help with an album from a big trip...

Hello!!

I'm planning on starting, finally!!, a 12x12 album about a trip I went on around the USA in 1999, at the end of my year as an aupair.

I joined the tour in Chicago, where I was living by then, and we visited places like Badlands, Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore, Las Vegas, San Francisco, L.A., etc we also held a farewell party,...

I'd appreciate any kind of ideas, tips, examples, etc

I'm thinking about using kraft cardstock as a base since it's a great color to combine with both earthy colors (for the national parks) and brighter ones (for the other kind of cities and parties), what do you think??

Any other way to unify the album??

HELP ME, please

THANKS SO MUCH

I would probably sit down and decide on a few words that encapsulate what this trip meant to you and then find a visual image that will somehow express that/those words. You don't have to use that image on every page but if you use it regularly throughout you'll get that unified feel you're going for.; ▶ Reply to This

After 10 years I'm feeling that now it's the time to make that album...; ▶ Reply to This
