Diy Travel album

Today iam making a paper travel themed album with a paper pack from hobby lobby. 

The cover....
I added some extra I found in my collection..

Some old stickers and map pieces.


Directions....

The album is made from a cereal box cut and covered in paper with a yarn tie. That also holds the pages in. The pages  I cut from an old coloring book and I decorated them with stickers and paper from the kit. And added different things I found in my stash.

Book Review from Publisher : 

Such a great cookbook! Filled with tips and carefully laid out, it was easy to read and plan with. I absolutely loved how Amelia carefully laid out within each recipe what to prep at home and what to prep at the campsite. Like others have said, it’s easy to just grab some hot dogs and call it good, so I’m excited to up my camping game with her yummy recipes.
