I'm back!

I know, it has been a real long time! The reason I took a break was my big move to this 5 sq mile Caribbean rock called Saba to follow my heart and the love of my life. I only brought two suitcases over, so there was no way to get all my scrapbooking stuff here! Besides that, the move changed every little detail of my life and it took some time to settle in and get adjusted to my new life. From making new friends to understanding island life (yes, that's a thing!) to working completely different jobs. I came from working for a corporate company for 14 years and here I've been working for a dive shop, a restaurant and the Saba ferry. 2018 was a crazy roller coaster: we adopted our fur baby Blink, we got married in Barbados and we bought a restaurant!

Well, that was a quick update on the last 2 years, let's talk scrapbooking again :-) Last Summer I started to feel that itch to get creative again, scrapbooking was always a big part of my life and I needed it back! So of course my first online stop was Paper Issues, my all time favorite for pretty papers and embellishments. I'm not gonna lie...I've also been missing being part of their DT. I was on the team for almost 4 years and made the best scrappy friendships over there! They have great monthly challenges that helped me get back into scrapbooking again. Because of the lack of space that I have here, I've only been doing travelers notebooks so far but I think there will be some 12x12 layouts in the near future again. It will always be my favorite to do.

For this first post in about 2 years I will update you with the travelers notebook pages I've made so far about our travels and wedding last August and will keep posting on a regular basis again.

I like to sew my own journal covers, so I made this one especially for our travels


I made a mesh zipper pouch for inside the journal so that I can easily take embellishments with me on the go.


These were our destinations for the month. Each destination got it's own insert.






























That's it for now. Later this week I'll share the travel journal I started about our fur baby.

Thank you for stopping by!
