Last of BeNeLux Pages

Today I have the last eleven pages of my BeNeLux album.  It feels SO good to have the 88 pages of this book finished!

Pages 1 & 2:

The background paper is a HOTP color block pattern.  The color block part of it was useless for this layout, but the color worked well so I used it anyway.  I printed up a several copies of a small windmill drawing to form some embellishments.  Below is a close up of each page:

Page #1:

I used vellum to create a pocket behind the page to hold a brochure about Kinderdijk - and a circle punch to cut the finger access.

Page #2:

Page #3:

Another HOTP patterned paper forms the backdrop for this Amsterdam page.  The title was a purchased 3-D sticker.

Pages 5 & 6:

The green background here was from a Mat Stack (DCWV), and the brick paper was from my stash.

Here I used a "handmade" paper purchased from Costco many years ago.  The title and journaling block was inked with some Distress Ink and matted on black card stock.  Two different types of washi tape complete the page.  And now, for the close ups:

Again, I used vellum to create a pocket behind the page to hold the map/brochure of the palace.

Page #6:

Page #7:

I'm not sure who made the water patterned background paper used on this and the next page.  The tulip shaped picture/embellishment was a purchased post card.

Page #8:

As you can see, this page is simply the water background paper and printed photos/title/journaling.

Page #9:

The background paper for this layout is a special London paper purchased at a scrapbook store. As you can see, I matted the photos, text, and map with black.  The title was printed on white photo paper and then inked with Distress inks.

Page #10:

The silver and black background paper is "handmade" paper I purchased from Costco years ago.  The silver is actual stitching on the paper.  I again used distress ink on the title/journaling block.

Page #11:

Again, I'm not sure who made the background paper used for this page.  I used distress inks on all of my printed pieces (photos, map, text).  Then I matted most pieces on brown card stock.

YAY! That's all for this scrapbook!
