Neon Smorgasburg Mini-Album
Hipster Food FTW.
Subject:
J and I went to Smorgasburg in Brooklyn this past April. The food was amaaaazing. We stuffed ourselves SO silly and then wound up getting caught in a 3 hour traffic jam on the way home (so lame); but still 100% worth it.
Unfortunately the weather was pretty crappy -- very overcast and just kinda gross. Which meant the pictures I took really didn't turn out so great. I originally scrapped these photos in another mini-album with lots of colorful journaling, but when I came across this awesome neon acrylic album cover from Jamaica Makes -- I knew I had to give it another go.
Date Made:
Summer 2013
Construction:
4x6 matte cardstock photos printed in b/w from Persnickety Prints
Mounted onto 5x6 sheets of kraft cardstock (right justified with binder holes on the right)
Skinny yellow washi tape
Aquamarine binder rings
Neon Pink acrylic mini-album covers from Jamaica Makes
Number of Pages:
Nine + Front and Back Covers
Notable Parts:
I kept this book as simple as possible. When I don't have the best photos, I like to convert them to black and white -- it helps especially take the 'dreariness' out of grey-day photos. To brighten it up, I added pops of very bright colors -- neon pink, yellow washi, and blue binder rings.
To tell the rest of the story, I added a giant journaling pocket to the back page and wrote a short essay about the highlights of our trip.
Materials Used:
Kraft cardstock, skinny yellow washi, binder rings, Jamaica Makes album cover, Kelly Purkey alpha letters, Basic Grey Hey You Pocket

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out one of my travel mini-albums, they’re one of my favorite projects to create.
