The Cutting Cafe-Road Trip Inspiration

It's time for some Cutting Cafe Inspiration!  This time around we're working with the It's Road Trip Time Again Printable Stamp Set.  I used it to create this Scrapbook of our road trip to the Grand Canyon... yes, I said scrapbook... doesn't always have to be in the form of an actual "book"....

I'm playing along with the Pause Dream Enjoy Challenge #175 Anything Goes! and the Cut It Up Challenge #123 Summer School!  You should check them out!

I used some old CTMH paper and accessories from my stash that had a really distressed feel to them and a travel kind of theme.  And along with the so very many stamps in this printable set, my photos, and some keepsakes... that's all I needed!

The very cool road sign and car are from the set.....

I printed all of my images in black and white... but you can print them in color if you prefer!

I started with a white recipe box from my stash... I covered and modgepodged it with papers from the pack.  I found that cool handle in my stash... it was a gift from a crafty friend... thank you crafty friend!  It was perfect for this!  Once it was dry I went to town decorating it...

Love the bingo cards in this set... I just printed this one with the little bit of color it had and distressed it....

And they come in a couple different sizes too!

Then I cut a bunch of 4x6 pieces of cardstock, distressed, added layers, photos and then used various stamps from the set... the compass; the car; the Road Trip sentiment and the road sign... that Road Trip sentiment came from one of the cool backgrounds in the set... I printed two and used one to cut single sentiments out of:

Very cool that you can print them in color or in black and white... I chose black and white so I could add the colors in my paper palette...

It really went together very quickly!  

This scrapbook box can easily sit on an end table or coffee table so that I can look at it and remember this awesome trip often...

Love those suitcases too!

Here I cut some of that cool word background AS a background... colored it in with a variety of my copics.. splattered some alcohol on it... love the way it came out!

And on the photo at the top of this pic, I used some vintage photo distress ink to distress a piece... love that look too!

I'm not quite done with this yet, but I figured this was as many pics as you'd want to have to wade through...lol!  This is one of my favorite non people photos...

I didn't even use every part of this awesome file... there is even a shaped card file in it!  Some of the girls have used this as well and you definitely want to check them out....
