To make it simple, I chose a paper stack from K and Co.and purchased 5 or 6 of the pads. Between the sales and using coupons, I was able to stay within a reasonable price for the paper. Then I purchased some of the matching embellishments for this stack. I used the Happy Trails specialty paper stack. Click here for a picture of the paper stack I used.
By using the same papers and embellishments, I am able to streamline the album and save some time. Of course, it still takes me forever because I have to figure out the layouts for everything. Since I blogged the whole trip on my personal blog, and I'm just revising what I wrote and printing it out. I've set up the album so that each day has a minimum of a 2 page LO. Some days have 4 or 6 pages. It will be a thick album by the time I'm done.
Ok, I have only one layout on my computer so here it is. I'll share more as I take more pictures.
