Summer Traveler’s Notebooks

We’re taking a trip this summer with some friends, so I made mini summer traveler’s notebooks as gifts to give to the kids using Pebbles’ new summer line, Sunshiny Days.

I plan to take my little handheld printer to snap random shots and let them add them to the pages and add notes about their adventures. As I mentioned, these mini summer traveler’s notebooks are very easy to make…let’s take a look.

Start by cutting 4″ x 6″ covers.  I chose to use the patterned paper with the journaling cards for a cute front and back cover.

Next, cut the inside pages using coordinating patterned paper or plain cardstock.  Consider cutting them at varying sized to add a fun flair.

Also, cut them 1/2″ smaller on the top and side so that they are 1/4″ smaller around each edge.

After you’ve sorted your inserts in the order you want them, run them through your sewing machine and  stitch right down the middle. Make sure they are all facing the right way up. Using the journaling cards with the divider lines makes this very easy to do!

Fold these in half. You may want to use a bone folder to get an extra crisp fold.

I used a supersized journaling card as the inside center card for my summer traveler’s notebooks. This can be used for a summer bucket list, bullet list, end of summer storytelling, or whatever.

Decorate your Summer Traveler’s Notebooks

Once you’ve assembled your mini summer traveler’s notebooks, decorate the outside with stickers and embellishments.  You may even wrap these up with stickers and embellishments for the recipient to add once they have their photos.

These only took about 45 minutes to whip up all 4 — I wasn’t kidding when I said these are a quick and easy gift idea! Thanks for stopping by the Pebbles’ blog today!
