Bon Voyage ....

So it's my turn again to host a challenge at City Crafter Challenge blog and this challenge is about Holidays ... (or Vacation as my sweet American friends would say)...

Here in the UK the school summer holidays have just begun and my challenge to you this week is to 
Create a Bon Voyage card or project ... 
Simple huh? 

Here is your inspirational photo


Those were the days ... when you could take as much luggage as you wanted on on airplane ... and people got dressed up ... don't get me started ...
We have the lovely Lauren with us again as Guest Designer ... just loving her projects ... and the DT have been hard at work so hop over and take a look

I made an album to store or those cruise photos in ... I know it will take me ages to scrap them ... but hey it's a start


I sandwiched thick corrugated card between 2 pieces of cardstock before covering them so the album is very sturdy


Couldn't resist sticking those photos in


... some beach bits and bobs from my stash with fisherman net and rope from Calico Crafts



... little stickers by Jolie's Boutique

I'm not sure where I got the blue water effect paper ... but the other paper is by Prima and the 'Bon voyage' was cut on my silhouette ...

My team mates and I at CCCB would really love to see what you create ... so come and join us and don't forget to link up

Thanks so much for stopping by ... have a lovely day

How funny, I need to make an effort to say "vacation" instead of using the word "holidays" after I moved to the US, not just this, I need to change the way I spell too.
I love your mini book, especially the photo of Ian in that life-saver. Wonderful job my friend!
