Project Life Travel Spread: San Francisco 2006



We R Memory Keepers’ Jet Set is my favorite travel-themed kit so far!! Love the colors, fonts and illustrations. I love the kit too much that I used almost all of the 4×4 designs on one spread:




 TIPS
1. If you want to save time, use page protectors with pockets that have the same size.
It’s much easier to move the cards and photos around (especially if you’re not happy with your first layout). I didn’t take a lot of time to make this compared to the other travel spreads. Didn’t have to decide if I should this print this pic at 4×6 or 3×4.. I just printed them all in one size.. 4×4! :)

2. Print travel posters from Pinterest and use them as title cards.
Just search “travel posters” or “san francisco travel poster” and you’ll find a lot of pretty illustrations!



3. Print your old photos!
You wouldn’t remember your trips if the photos are just stored on your hard drive. (Note: These photos were taken 8 years ago!)

4. Use Instagram filters / Photoshop actions
I didn’t have a nice camera then so I applied a Photoshop action on my images. For this set of photos, I used the Valencia effect (my favorite Instagram filter!), which is downloadable from Photoshop Tutorials for FREE. Visit this site


5. If you hate your handwriting, try writing in capital letters. It appears much neater!
