Back in 2013 we took the kids to New Zealand to learn to ski at The Remarkables out from Queenstown. It was an epic trip, with lots of photos, video and journaling to safe keep the memories. I had collected a lot of paraphernalia to add to the scrapbooking project for down the track. The last two weeks have seen it all come together.
It's been a big project. A total of 142 pages of which 49 is journaling, 120 photos of various sizes and includes 52 pages that has bits and pieces that had been collected.
I found a 6 hole punch on ebay that made it much easier to put it all together. I'm so proud of this journal. The kids have read it from cover to cover a few times and remarked on all the memories that they remembered.
Key chains made for the best dingle dangles. I've still to attach a little usb that has all the movies I made of our trip.
The very full to bursting journal
Title page is a photo of looking down The Remarkables and across to Cornet Peak.
I collected maps, money and so many things at the time to add to the future scrapbook project.
As I can't ski with my banged up knees I made it my mission to record our time with both photos and film.
I found maps and facts of places we visited to include in the album
Magical.
I've included pamphlets in the journal as extra information of what we did, and so the journal is more hands on and interactive.
I even kept the paper bags from businesses we visited to add into the journal.
Different sized elements within the journal kept it interesting to flick through.
I kept and used the photo packages we bought of different things we did. The disc in this one shows us on our Shotover Jet ride.
And this is why I find scrapbooking so very worthy. Memories jogged, moments remembered and the fun times relived all over again. Memory keeping at its finest.
