Summer's coming-travel themed projects and supplies?

I really want some of this line! It's so fun and colorful. www.cartabellapaper.com/collections_beach_day.html

Have been trying to resist buying the summer lines this year. Love both Bo Bunny and Carta Bella outdoorsy/camping lines. I think one of them is "Take a Hike". Don't think we will be joining anyone to camp this year, and I have tons of that type of stuff from past years.

Always on the lookout for papers & extras to scrap kids doing kid stuff outside: bikes, and playground equipment, and nature walks. And amusement parks: haven't seen anything with ferris wheels and that kind of thing for a few years. I know we will be going to at least a couple of country fairs with grandkids.

And my supplies of baseball themed and western themed elements are getting low. Our oldest dgs plays baseball and we usually spend SOME time at the diamonds. Think we will be at the Calgary Stampede in July. Anyone know where I can get some of that?

Got KC "Ol' Mac" this spring, and love it for farm related pages. Can always use more of that, as we don't go on a lot of summer vacations, but most of the grandkids will be here at different times in the summer. They like to do things outside and ride on Grampa's tractor.

I would love if someone came out with a lake beach line rather than all the ocean and palm tree stuff: we all don't live by the coast, and can't all go to the tropics every year!

Golfing is another area I have not seen much to scrap with. I picked up a fun stamp and die set last year with a golf cart on it, and have some stamps and stickers sets with golf balls on them, but there doesn't seem to be alot. Neither dh nor I golf, but all our sons do and some of the grandkids.

I picked up Carta Bella "Old World Travel" to help scrap my trip in the fall.

I bought this set of embellishments from Kaisercraft's Captured Moments at my LSS. Kaisercraft has a line called Sandy Toes and another called Coastal Escape, but they are ocean-y. I bought some for my vacation to Victoria, BC, but a lot of it wouldn't work for lakes like grammadee said.

I would love some beach papers etc... in water/sand colours...with seashells and the like...not just the bright vibrant sandpails/ice lollies/beach balls. More tranquil less LOUD.

Would love a water park/pool line also - there was one years ago that was great in blues and turquoises.

For my summer pages this year, I picked up Elle's Studio June kit today ($10 today, $12 after today)




I also picked up this stamp, part of the traveler's notebook class at Citrus Twist:




Finally, I got a few items from the Happy Glamper kit, because it was so darling. Not sure what I'll do with it yet:

It's no secret I love Scrapyourtrip.com and they have some new lake papers as well as some older ones I love.  Here's a link to one of them.

I have the new Carta Bella Great Outdoors, and I love the colors! Even if you're not a fan of the retro character illustrations, there aren't that many of them, and the paper designs are just gorgeous. MME Happy Camper is also really pretty, with softer colors and a southwest vibe.

We just did a 2-week tour of DC, Williamsburg, Monticello and Asheville. Before we left, I out together a traveler's notebook kit with an Americana theme from my stash. Lots of 7Gypsies, Authentique, LittleB washi. However, between the jetlag and our busy schedule, I barely used it.   It's not something I've done before, and next time I would plan a little more structure ahead of time, and make sure I journal at least something every day. I saw a woman in the cafeteria at the Smithsonian diligently updating her traveler's notebook.

I'm going to do a scrapbook of the trip instead. Here is the kit I made. Really ambitious, ha!

   

We do a beach vacation every year, so I am constantly out on the prowl for fun water paper. I probably have 15 lines from previous years that I use for layouts until the paper is gone. I order 3-5 more every year. I do like scrap your trip, but there are so many lines that go with summer that don't say summer that can be used. The Bo Bunny Beach and Cruise line was one of my favorites this year.
