Hello CSM scrapbookers! Kim here, thanks for dropping by the blog to see what I have been up to!

Last September; my hubby and I went to Scotland for a wonderful, two-week holiday. I am still in the process of culling through pictures and scrapbooking some of our adventures.

The layout I am sharing today uses the gorgeous “transatlantic TRAVEL” collection by Carta Bella. The paper is such beautiful quality and the collection lent itself well to a travel location so rich in history and well…across the Atlantic Ocean!

My layout uses patterned paper, journal cards [cut from a 12×12 sheet], stickers and a quote border all from the same collection.

I have added a journaling insert behind the photo mat; this also allows an extra photo to be placed on the back of my journaling.

I added a touch of water colour to the part of the map [Scotland/England] that we visited using a Tombow dual brush pens and brush. I scribbled some ink onto a non-stick surface and picked it up with a wet paint brush.

Other that the “transatlantic TRAVEL” collection, my supplies were quite basic. Stampin’ Up! ink to distress some of my edges, Tombow adhesive + pens for touch of colour and journaling and some Thickers for my title.
