This is for this week's Glitter Girl challenge on extended and/or travel writing. I did both combined.This layout documents travel portion of one of our international moves. (All of this info was documented by my husband in his Palm as we went, and I wrote everything into a rtf document shortly thereafter… my memory is excellent, but even I couldn't have remember this kind of detail after nearly a decade.)I knew this was going to be a lot of writing, and I don't own a printer. I decided in order to break up the writing, the best idea was to divide it into columns over 1.5 pages, with the layout designed so be opened to see the full documentation. The front of the overleaf contains the basics of what this all documents including a photo of us on the day, our ticket stub for our flights, and our planned itinerary. The interior (on the patterned paper) records what actually happened.In order to ensure the viewer sees this layout with the overleaf in place, I sewed two page protectors together, cutting and sewing the protector for the overleaf to size. Now when you open the album, the layout naturally falls with the overleaf over the full-sized page.This is hands-down the most I've ever written on a single layout, but I love how it turned out, and I love how it show the complete story. The brief bit of journalling on the overleaf face also gives enough info that our story flows in the album, even if you don't read the details inside.
