\"Walkabout-Australia-Travel-Scrapbook-Embellishments-Creative-Memories-4<\/p>\n

What was your inspiration for this collection?<\/h2>\n

“My inspiration came from the Australian Outback. I wanted to capture some unique qualities of the Australian countryside with a modern-vintage approach.”<\/p>\n

\"Walkabout-Australia-Scrapbook-Paper-Envelopes-Creative-Memories-2<\/p>\n

How would you describe these papers?<\/h2>\n

“For the paper pack, I tried to capture elements that represent Australia and translate them into patterns. So you’ll see patterns inspired by nature (earth layers, water, sky) and very iconic examples with maps, building structures and postcards.”<\/p>\n

\"Walkabout-Austalia-Scrapbook-Embellishments-Creative-Memories<\/h1>\n

What makes this collection so unique?<\/h2>\n

“This collection is unique in that it is a representation of Australia in graphics and slightly vintage format.”<\/p>\n

\"Walkabout-12x12-Navy-Photo-Album-Creative-Memories-1<\/h1>\n

What was fun about designing this collection?<\/h2>\n

“A fun fact for this collection \u2014 all patterns are hand-drawn, but the other paper that took the longest is the earth layers! After drawing the initial design, I created about eight different versions of that single paper (with varying color combinations) and settled on a neutral tonal color so that it’s easier to write on and layer papers with. The most color-crazy version I had was a really fun design, but I felt that it would be too hard to scrapbook with!”<\/p>\n

\"Walkabout-Australia-Scrapbook-Paper-Creative-Memories<\/p>\n

What can this collection be used for?<\/h2>\n

“The great thing about this collection is that even though it showcases Australian imagery, the patterns themselves are general enough to use with any type of photo or theme.”<\/p>\n
