Road Trip USA Blog Hop

Pin It


Welcome to the 
Road Trip USA Blog Hop

Today's hop is all about traveling this great country of ours and all the crafty projects are inspired by that travel theme. Thank you for joining us as we travel cross country through the great USA!

You should have arrived from Kim's fantastic blog! If not, 
Theresa is the first stop in this hop. 

We've got a bit of everything for you today, so be sure to stop by each blog and leave a little love in the form of a comment. One comment will be chosen from all those left on the hop by June 30th for a Stampin' Up prize pack and the winner will be announced on next month's hop. 


Be sure to follow everyone and leave a comment along the way!


Pack your bags because here we go!!

I created the first page, my cover page, for my road trip album featuring photos of us moving my mom from California to Colorado. I saw this idea on Pinterest and knew I had to go with it!! It was so great!


The first thing I had to do was print a map of the western US out from my computer and enlarge it a few times to get it to fit a 12x12 sheet the way I wanted it to.



Then I cut each state out and placed them on my background paper. I chose my patterned paper for each state and began tracing an hand cutting each one.


Here is my finished map of the states! Eeek!! I love this!! Don't you?

Now to finish my layout!


I am beyond thrilled with the way this came out and I hope you like it too!
Enjoy the rest of your travels!!

 Up next is my friend Amanda!

And don't forget to check out the this month's challenge!!
