“Gypsy Moments” in Paris

Hi there readers! When you go on a trip what makes it worth remembering and unique? Is it the food? Or the weather? The culture, the places of interest or the company? Or all those things together, the little moments that make all the difference? To me it’s just the latter – even though I may have visited a place before the little things make all the difference. Like a sudden rain shower and taking refuge under a shop canopy. Or the perfect little restaurant found in the alley next to busy high street.

As “Gypsy Moments” is all about moments, I collected a few of those to this minialbum. It’s about a trip I made together with my friend Marsha earlier this year to Paris and Version Scrap event there. I have made a travel album from the trip earlier but this album was just about those moments that made this particular visit to the capital of France so memorable.

Luckily I had a lot of photos from the trip. A lot. And I had ordered some of the photos in duplicates anyway so luckily I had some of the unforgettable moments in photos one way or the other. For example I had the photo of the little restaurant we found quite close to Notre Dame which had a magnificent offer for lunch and the food was awesome. Well, we were in France, after all!

  

I also happened to have a photo of the flower shop near to our hotel. The scent of the flowers were amazing as we were passing by, after a long day travelling and taking part to workshops. I captured that story and the others on different tags and the little ATC folders. That way the texts are hidden from the first view but still can be easily found in the album.
For the base of the album I used the File Folders cut in half. This way the pages open more with the binding rings and I could mix the patterns of the folders across the album. Binding rings also allow me to add some dimension to the album, so I could use metal embellishments and foam squares in the making of the piece.

If you want to see how the finished album looks like, please watch the video underneath! It shows me leafing through the finished album and showing some of the journaling tags and files.

Thank you for stopping by today!
