altered board game journal

My sister’s birthday is this week and so is her yearly birthday trip to Lakeside.  I had an old “Lakesideopoly” board game, (Lakeside version of Monopoly) and so I thought I would make her a journal for her trip! 
The sunshine is actually made from a wood self-adhesive embellishment. 
Most of the papers and embellishments were part of past Studio Calico monthly kits. 
Every trip to Lakeside, includes a trip to The Patio, where she buys a slice of her favorite Red Raspberry pie….so I included money for her afternoon “sweets”. 
I loved using the game property cards for some fun embellishments as well. 
She recently redecorated her home, so I know that she plans to spend time wandering through the shops looking for more home decor, so I included some fun-money for her shopping trips. 
…I loved this pin-up girl flair in her pink bathing suit… 
Do you have an extra board game laying around the house collecting dust? 

Make a fun mini album!
