Vegas during my spring break. We were about half way to the airport when I realized that I had forgotten my camera. We figured we'd just not have any pictures of this trip ... but while we were there, I devised a way to have some memories.
You see, I've been totally addicted to inchies these days...so I had inchies on my mind. And then I started seeing lots of pamphlets, and coasters, and coupons ... with pictures and logs on them... and then an idea popped into my head.
Ultimately, I created this "Inchie Book". My husband was totally impressed. In fact, his comment was that this cool little book had a record of all the great stuff we did.
The book is made from light cardboard that I covered with some red cardstock. It simply folds out and has a third little flap and it all gets tied up with some hemp.
This is the firt flap with some of the inchies.
And here is the second page with the little flap. When I attached the cardstock, I left the top open and I slid in some memoribilia that could not be used to make inchies.
Here is a close up of some of the inchies. I simply told the "stories" by writing around each inch image.
I think this was an ingenious way to create a keepsake of our trip. Who says you need a camera when you go on vacation!! Thanks to all my inchie friends who always inspire me :-)
Enjoy your day,
Donelda

So clever---another great way to use inchies! Great remembrance of your trip. My favorite part is how you wrote little notes around the inchies.
What a creative improvisation! Love it, and love the journaling that adds your story!
This is very clever. A memento that you can treasure for a lifetime. The journaling is a great idea.
Brilliant idea and just 'great' little Inchies!
