Hiking Diamond Head in Oahu, Hawaii: 6×8 Vacation Travel Themed Scrapbooking Layout
Diamond Head (Lē‘ahi) is a broad, saucer-shaped crater that’s situated near the eastern edge of Waikiki’s coastline. This geologic feature is one of Hawaii’s most remarkable landmarks.
There’s a steep, challenging 0.8-mile hiking trail at Diamond Head State Monument; if you hike all the way to the top, you’re rewarded with the panoramic coastal view pictured here in this scrapbooking layout. My husband, Mike, and I hiked to the top, and we were glad we did. The views from the top are pretty incredible.
Craft Supplies You’ll Need for Creating a Similar Vacation Travel-Themed Scrapbooking Layout:
- Flower Embellishment: There are many ways to create flower embellishments you can use for this. You can buy ready-made flower embellishments from brands like Graphic 45 and Prima. You can also make your own paper flowers using stamps or dies. In this case, I ink blended some heavy cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio’s Mermaid Cove ink, and then used the inky cardstock for die-cutting my flower with the Layered Flowers die set by Waffle Flower Crafts.
- Washi Tape — You can use any washi tape you happen to have. I used a washi tape by Jen Hadfield that is now discontinued, but there are many available washi tape designs that would give you excellent results in this project.
- Border Designs: To make a project similar to the one pictured above, you’ll need two border designs that harmonize with each other but are not an exact match for each other. I used Pinkfresh Studio’s Lacey Edgers dies to create these, and I also used Decorative Scalloped Scissors by EK Success. There are many other possible ways to create borders that would work for this sort of project.
- Cardstock and Patterned Papers: You’ll need a variety of patterned papers; if you are creating a Hawaii-themed or travel-themed layout, it would make sense to choose a tropical-themed or travel-themed paper collection to work with, but these are not your only choices. You can use basically any paper from any collection if you are careful to choose paper designs that harmonize with your photos. I used papers from the Simple Stories Coastal collection, which is now out of stock at every store where I usually buy scrapbooking supplies. I think Pinkfresh Studio’s Sunshine on My Mind Collection looks like an outstanding paper collection to use for scrapping summer vacation photos, but you have many choices to use for this purpose.
- Alphabet Letter Dies: There are many different dies, stamps or letter stickers you could use for creating your page title. I used Altenew’s Simple Alphabet die set.
- Pens or Markers: If you want to journal on your page, it would be nice to do your journaling with a pen in a color that coordinates beautifully with your layout. If you aren’t sure what kind of pen to get, I recommend using Sakura Gelly Rolls or Tombow’s Fudenokuke brush pens. I’ve used the Fudenosuke pens on this page.
- 6″x8″ Scrapbooking Binder / Album and Page Protectors If you’re scrapping 6″x8″ pages like this one, you’ll want to have sheet protectors and an album to put them in. My layout is housed in a Sn@p! album by Simple Stories.
- Stamps: The “Explore” stamp is by Citrus Twist Kits.
- One or More Pictures: As shown, this layout incorporates one 4″x6″ photo, but you could change it to include 2 3″x4″ photos side by side, 6 2″x2″ photos or some other combination of photos to replace the 4″x6″ picture.
Thanks so much for checking out my project. I appreciate your interest!
