paper: Travel Scrapbook Page with Mind the Scrap Kit (with video!) | pretty paper. true stories. {and scrapbooking classes with cupcakes.}

In the last few years, it often seems all the shop announcements in the scrapbooking world have a sad tale, so I am very happy to change that up and introduce a new kid on the block! Mind the Scrap is a new scrapbooking kit club based here in the UK. Their debut kit was last month and in their second kit, the letter option is none other than the foam Fitzgerald Thickers from my True Stories collection, which I was very happy to learn. So much so that I put together a little extra for the first forty-five September kits sold, but I’m getting ahead of myself here.

This video includes two parts – the first five minutes is an unboxing of the September Mind the Scrap kit, and starting at 5:10, there is an As it Happens process video of this travel scrapbook page coming together.

I took that airport photo with just my phone and I smiled a lot when it came up on the screen like that silhouette with the passport visible. Porto airport is so light and lovely, even if the pilots’ strike made our travel plans a little… interesting. I didn’t have my own passport until I was nineteen, and I still randomly get Wonder Boy’s passport out of the drawer just to marvel in its cuteness for a moment. Even baby passport photos are funny!

If you’re here in the UK (or possibly nearby!), then it’s easy for you to find this entire kit all ready for you at Mind the Scrap. For those shopping in the US or elsewhere, you can find some elements of the kit in other shops, though some of the kit is exclusive. Look for Crate Paper Poolside (sb.com // blue moon), Pink Paislee Atlas (sb.com // blue moon), and Imaginisce Happy Traveler (sb.com) collections, plus the Fitzgerald Thickers (sb.com // blue moon) from True Stories!

Thank you so much to Mind the Scrap for including my Thickers in their kit and for sending me a kit to try!
