Hi.

Welcome to A Pocketful of Licorice, my memory-keeping, art-journaling, book-reading, world-traveling blog. I'm Anja. Nice to meet you. 

Little Bits of Paris

Little Bits of Paris

I spent 12 days in Europe last month, and although I plan on putting together an entire album documenting the trip, I couldn't resist putting a couple quick layouts in my traveler's notebook. I'm still loving the full page photo, but my notebook is getting so full that the pages are starting to fall out. I'm still figuring things out with this format.

Both of these layouts use pictures I took in Paris.

This one is of Rue du Calvaire in Montmartre. It's one of my favorite spots in the city. For this one I used stamps and papers from Kelly Purkey Shop, and added some bits and pieces from my stash to embellish.

The second layout uses a picture I took in the Louvre. Never not stunned by this one.

I dug deep into my stash for this one. Some of those rub-ons are approx. ten years old.

There's a lot going on here. My layouts are generally on the simpler side, but I was struggling with this one, so I just kept adding stuff until I liked it, so it's a little busier than usual for me.

Tackling the full album for this trip will be a huge project and I'm not sure when I'll get to it. I still have a trip from 2017 to put into an album. I need to get to work on those projects.
