How has your summer been going so far? Traveled anywhere exotic or fun? I hope while you are traveling this summer, you’re documenting your trips. In addition to taking pictures and creating scrapbooks, try creating a canvas. This canvas combines painting and decoupaging, to make an inspirational and fun statement about travel. Julie Lewis designed this great summer themed project. A list of supplies and the instructions to create this project can be found below. Where have you traveled, or plan to travel to this summer? We’d love to know.
