enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

it’s the summer of the travel album.

July27promon I am off to Tahoe with Paul and his family for the next couple days. Packed with swimsuits, sunscreen and my polaroid, is a simple mini book of patterned papers. I plan on taking lots of photos to fill this up and of course hope to collect all sorts of odds and ends from the places we visit.

So far, the book has lots of orange, blue and browns. Hopefully they'll match perfectly with the blues and greens of Lake Tahoe. I will be sharing the after photos of the book by Friday.

Have a great week.

    OMG, this is the best. I have a day trip on Wed to North Carolina. Maybe I will make a new mini instead of adding to the summer mini.. Hmmm? I am naming you Queen of the Mini! Hooray!

    I just started a travel mini album last night using the SAME papers from October Afternoon! Too funny! I love the whole set.

    Hi Elise, I love your mini books. I’ve started a few and always stop because I don’t like how they look or the feel of them — but your’s always look so good and the vibe seems totally like you. You’re encouraging me to finally finish one I begin!

    Hi Elise! I’ve been catching up on all your wedding posts (I’ve been a little behind b/c I recently got engaged too and clearly don’t manage my time as well as you!) and they’re so inspirational. I can’t wait to see how everything turns out!
