Returning to my Canary Islands Album

We did a cruise to the Canary Islands in 2021 and my album is unfinished, pushed aside by my wish to work on newer holiday albums as they came round. I have a lull now between finishing my Mediterranean Islands album and us going on the next cruise, so I'm hoping to finish the Canary Islands before we go.

I made some of the existing pages between April and July 2022, and then returned to the album between January and April 2023 so it's more than two years since I worked on it. I've been reviewing the pages so far and the gaps that are left. We visited five islands:

Lanzarote - complete
Gran Canaria - double page needed for Santa Ana Cathedral (photos printed)
La Gomera - complete
La Palma - five pages needed (photos printed for three)
Tenerife - only the sub-title page done, others not planned, three photos printed

I've also had to re-gather my supplies. I kept all the papers in a box so that part was easy. I'm using a mix of two collections for this album - Heidi Swapp's Care Free and Jen Hadfield's Peaceful Heart - which both have peach and green colour schemes. All my papers are single-sided so I cut up the cut-apart pages at the start.


However, the rest of my supplies had been absorbed back into my stash so I've been through my original supplies post and the album itself to identify and re-assemble those. As always, if I use anything new I will add it to the kit too.
