I made 20 paper cutouts that tell the stories of my travels and life.

My name is Ana Stretcu and I created a series called “I was cutout for this” based on paper cutouts that add the aww-factor to photos I take on road trips.

I didn’t want my travel photos to end up in a forgotten folder on my laptop, so I decided to make them more memorable by adding a quirky little twist. I made paper cutouts of me and my boyfriend and took them along for the ride. And the pictures turned out to be extra charming.

I thought the project would die out naturally when our trip was over, but the paper doll was bitten by the travel bug so I decided to continue. And now they’re still going on little adventures, but usually closer to home.
