Hello All! Wendy here and continuing to share up my CHA Summer Show 2012 projects revealed up in the Hampton Art booth for 7 Gypsies. I believe it’s time for a mini! In this project, I made a quick capture of my many worldly travels in using the really cool 7 Gypsies tag envelopes and tag inserts as my base and structure for this mini. Also, the mini envelopes make it possible to add in little bits of “hidden” notes of journaling and memorabilia collected from the journey.

Designer Notes:
1. Collaging together various stamps can bring an interesting effect to your pages.
2. Sometime simple pages are nice too with just the photo and a quick caption to really enhance a nice photo, even in a mini style.
3. My vintage typewriter stays out at all times on one desk in my art studio which makes for quick and easy access for journaling. Also, I like to mix it up with stamping and journaling together on some pages.
4. I typically stamp in a nice crisp black archival ink, however, as seen in these pages, sometimes I like to add some “pop” with a color ink.
5. Sometimes stamping as stand-alone on a page is just enough, from a quote to a background stamp. In these pages, I simply love these quotes/sayings and the random text background stamp!
6. Here I mixed in some layering of stamping along with snippets of postage stamps cut from the 7 Gypsies paper tape for a neat effect on the travel theme!
7. And don’t forget that stamping looks great on the back of your album too!
Hope you enjoyed my project!
