Bon Voyage Happiness Is a Journey

It's always sad to see favorite sets go, and this was a favorite of mine. I hope you enjoy the projects I made with it.

I am very sad to see this set go. It only appeared in one catalog and has been on the dormant list since January. I feel like this set didn't get a fair chance. It's such a great set for masculine cards and travel scrapbooks. I decided to put it to the test and do something a little on the feminine side with it as well. I hope you enjoy my projects.

My first card is a birthday card made with this set. It measures 3x6 which is one of my favorite card sizes. It just seems the perfect size for this set as well. I really like the classic look of this card done in black, white and grays. All products from Stampin' Up!:
Stamps: Happiness is a Journey, Four Square
Paper: Basic Black, Going Gray, Basic Gray, Taste of Textiles (shimmery white stripe at top)
Ink: Versamark, Basic Black
Accessories: White Embossing Powder, Vintage brads

My next card reminds me of a trip my family and I took on a steam train up in east Texas. It was fall at the time and there was a little color in the area. All products from Stampin' Up!

Stamp set: Happiness Is a Journey
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Pumpkin Pie, More Mustard, Basic Black
Ink: Versamark, Basic Black
Accessories: Stampin' Pastels, Sponge Daubers, Circle Designer Brads
I used the poppin' pastels technique on this card and sponged the pastels over the Versamark to give it that fallish look. I used the circle brads because they kind of reminded me of train wheels.

For my last project, I wanted to create a mini album that represented my journey with my husband of 22 years. We have so many great memories of our years and it truly has been a journey. At first I was going to create something more neutral based but then I decided that this was for me and I wanted it to be a little more feminine. Here's what I came up with.
This is a little mini album made with rectangular coasters. I used the Sweet Nothings Simply Scrappin' Kit for this project and matching ribbons. I really have to say that I'm pleased with the way it came out. The pictures inside represent many phases of our lives from our honeymoon to a trip we took last fall to celebrate our birthdays. This is a little scrapbook that I know I'll keep forever.


Remember you can only get the sets on the last chance list until June 30th!
