As you can see by my username I scrap my travels. I am looking for general travel themed embellishments - preferably buttons or charms, but also possibly tiles. I have everything Buttons Galore and More has in the travel line. I've hit HL, M's, and J's. I've checked scrapyourtrip - no embellishments.
Does anyone have a source for travel embellishments in the form of buttons or charms?

Tim Holtz has some Travel charms and at Etsy you can find lots of travel themed items like charms and stickers.

You can find travel theme charmes in the big box chains stores -- just look in the jewelry section!
I mostly scrap travel photos these days and when I don't have a travel themed thing, I just look for color thing that works. I think the travel theme comes through in the photos and words!

Feedyourcraft should have some flair. You may even put in a request for some of her future releases...or do a custom order. Etsy should also be a great place took, as was mentioned above.

Our Summer US Road Trip was through Michigan this year and I noticed many of the souvenir type stores were selling flair buttons with travel related motifs. I imagine they must be available online somewhere though I can't say I've looked. I'm feeling pleased with myself because I'm trying to get my road trip journal done and finished but was missing a few bits of ephemera on some pages. I found these tickets and used my Silhouette to print and cut them out. I know, it's not rocket science but I forget that I can do these things and am awfully pleased when I not only think of it but accomplish it easily as well! Attachments:

Have you looked at brads to add dimension? A lot of companies are offering vacation and travel-themed brad sets in recent collections.  Here's a selection of vacation and travel-themed brads available on scrapbook.com. |

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Glanced at etsy last night. OMG! They have so much that I would never have thought of! I looked at Hawaii washi tape as well. Looks like my reward for this week is going to be looking at etsy!

travelscrapper2 Are you looking for newer travel embellies? I am packing a lot of my scrap supplies up for storage and I just cleaned out my travel drawer today. These are all very old but I would be happy to send them to you if you would like. They're from back when I used to go to Florida often. My carpet is NOT gross like it looks like lol. I just took the pic and it's dark and shadowy in here lol.

Thanks for the offer nicolep, but I'll pass. I have plenty of travel stickers in my stash.
I'm really looking for charms. The LO that I'm working on is a pocket page for brochures and papers I collected on a recent trip to Mackinac Island. I like to put a ribbon across the cardstock where it is cut and then embellish the ribbon with something. This time I'll be using a twill ribbon or a ribbon that has eyelets in it. I want to embellish the ribbon with 3-5 travel related charms. I have several charms that would work on a tropical island setting, but the seashells don't work as well for a lake island. I did find several charms that would work on etsy.
Thanks again.

I'd love to see what you created, travelscrapper2 ! I found I had so much ephemera from the island that I could have filled a whole journal with that alone. As it is, I had to limit myself ;-) Fortunately (!) it was raining the day we were there, so we hung around in more souvenir shops than we would normally. That's where I found a few flair buttons and stuff. But charms? no....didn't see any of those. I do however get your dilemma about scrapping a lake island rather than a tropical one (and though I snagged the latest AC Creekside papers, I didn't really feel those were on target either. Tricky. Good tip re Etsy. |
