Hi! We are going on a trip to the Cayman Islands. Does anyone know of any scrapbook lines that are good for documenting the Caribbean Islands or have a map that includes Grand Cayman? Thanks!

I usually buy old National Geographic maps from eBay. I love the vintage look to them and the colors are great.
If the size isn't right, you can scan them in and print at what size works for you.
The notes app on your iPhone also does really good "scans" of documents if you don't have a flatbed scanner.

This is what I did when I paper scrapped trips. I got a printed map of the area. There will be plenty of maps on island at a tourist information booth or you can buy one there. Like an old pirate map. Then use vintage photo distress ink and ink blend over it, crumple it up, smooth it out, ink blend some more, maybe a spray of water, smooth it out, more ink blending, etc, etc, etc. It's a bit of work but you'll get texture rather than just printed paper. Plus it will be an "authentic" map if you got it there.  |
