Chasing Adventures Travel Journal

27
Mar
Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. Is anyone planning a Spring Break vacation in April? Take a look at my Chasing Adventures travel journal. It is perfect to take along on your trip to record your memories and store mementos, maps, postcards, photos and more.

The journal is crafted from a kraft cardstock and then decorated with the fun Chasing Adventures pattern papers. I glued two pieces of kraft cardstock together to make the folio stronger. To give it a vintage feel, I burnished the edges with some distress ink. An elastic band secures the binder shut. Let me show you the inside …


The front cover has a side pocket to tuck stickers and die cuts that can be used to decorate journal pages while traveling.

There are 3 pages inside. Each side of a page has a gusseted pocket to hold travel momentos, maps, postcards, and more.

Here are the other inside pages…

In the back of the journal I have added a notepad, covered with pretty pattern paper. Here you can journal about your daily adventures and add photos.

If you have an upcoming vacation, you might want to make a travel journal for yourself. Be sure to check out the Chasing Adventures collection to help you document your trip. I love that it has pattern papers and die cuts for whatever kind of adventure you desire from city vacations to mountain hiking to tropical relaxation.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

~Marcia

Supplies:

  • Chasing Adventures 12×12 Paper Pad
  • Chasing Adventures Ephemera Die Cuts

Who else is ready for a new challenge? We certainly are! It is so fun to try something new each month, especially when it centers around a sketch! Guess what…we have a challenge… but there isn’t a sketch to follow (What?!!).  Instead, there are fun phrases and images to inspire your creativity. Here they are:

Do you see a theme?? We are embracing gratitude this month! Who else tries to live in gratitude daily? We do – but sometimes we forget to look for the positive.  Hope you don’t mind using this (along with us) as a reminder to do better this month!

So…how does the challenge work? All we ask is that you create a project that is centered around gratitude or thanksgiving.  We asked some friends to create projects that might help inspire you.  Here are their beautiful creations:

Planner Pages with Amanda & The Land That I Love!

Hi Pebbles Friends & Fans!

Amanda here; today I am sharing one of the most loved Holidays in the planner girls’ calendar – the 4th of July!

“Oh say, can you see….” I’m singing as I type this post, and feeling all the Land of the Free feels right now!

This is such a wonderful holiday to celebrate, and I just love the Red, White & Blue adorning the pages of my weekly view planner! Forget functionality, this week is all about showing your stripes –  and plenty of them!

Here’s how I’ve prepared my pages for this special occasion….

God Bless America!

As I’m quite the planner addict, you’ll spot that this is yet another new planner in my stash! (Sssh! Don’t tell Mr Baldwin – he doesn’t need to know 😉  ) You’ll note that this a much larger size and more ‘boxed’ style of planner (it’s a MAMBI Happy Planner) compared to my previous planner & traveler’s notebook shares. The great thing is that regardless of planner size or type, you can take the ideas from this post and edit them to best suit your  daily organizer needs. Yay!

Here’s how I created this patriotic spread….

First you’ll need to gather up your Pebbles: Land That I Love supplies. As well as embellishments, you’ll also need pattern papers Stars & Stripes Forever, Happy 4th! and Land That I Love.

I just LOVE those Puffy Stickers! Oh My Stars, indeed!

I start with creating the full size decorator boxes. For this specific project, that means trimming pattern paper Stars & Stripes Forever to size 1 1/2″ wide x 2 1/2″ long. One 2 1/2″ x 12″strip will create exactly 8 boxes, with the choice of two patterns – stars and stripes OR blue with white stripes. Adhere to your pages as shown above.

Next, take pattern paper Happy 4th! and trim all the ‘strips’ to create faux washi tape.

Trim to size, and adhere with glue. This is already starting to look good!

Trim a 3″ x 4″ card from pattern paper Land That I Love, and create a ‘flap’ or two for hidden planning! I have a Printed Cardstock Shape flag as my second flap. I took out some red tape from my stash to secure them in place.

Decorate with a few Puffy Stickers! You’ll see that I have cleverly positioned my puffy star stickers to double up as ‘dot points’ in my planner! Much more fun than asterisks or bullet points!

I put in more Puffy Stickers, and embellished them with the 6 x 12 Accent stickers too! You can never have too many stickers!

 

Next I created a few planner clips for the top of my page. To make, simply hot glue some of the Printed Cardstock Shapes to metal paperclips. For finishing touches, I tied a patriotic ribbon to the base of my planner to act as my page marker. Love it!

Here’s a closer look…..

 

I love the ‘flaps’ – such a fun way to decorate without losing all your pen space!

The Red, White & Blue speaks for itself!

I hope you’re as excited as I am for the Fourth of July celebrations! I can’t wait to see what your planners, organizers and notebooks will look like this week!

Thanks so much for stopping by today,

Happy Arty Days, Amanda xo

Memory Planning with our latest guest blogger, Sarah!

Good morning everyone, Sarah here this morning! I’m so excited to be guest designing for Pebbles and working with their new collection Patio Party!! This collection is full of beautiful florals and other patterns; it gives you so many options of things to do!! Cards, layouts, planner spreads and memory planning are just a few; today, I am sharing my memory planning for the month of March!

Love these planner pages from @mother0froyalty; they look so lovely with #patioparty from @tatertotsandjello!

I started out my month by writing a list of things that I needed to get done and a few ideas of things that I wanted to do but weren’t at the top of my list. Then I went for the fun stuff! I pulled out all the pretties that Pebbles sent me and started to play!

Love these planner pages from @mother0froyalty; they look so lovely with #patioparty from @tatertotsandjello!

​I went through the collection and grabbed some of my favorite papers and embellishments and started to add them in my planner . I used some wood grain washi from my stash as well and then covered the separating lines in my planner to make them a color I wanted.  Don’t you think it adds just a little more to my weekly spreads?

​This month, my family has quite a few birthdays so I wanted to make sure they were all documented too! I added in some of the cut aparts with washi so that I had places to journal about things that went on during the birthday parties and all the other things we were doing. My mom was in Florida for her birthday, so I thought it would be a great time to add the cute flamingos in too!!

​My last week of March was almost finished, when my youngest daughter (she’s a year and a half old) decided to add her own touch in on my planner! I thought about covering everything up, but I decided that it was ok; I would leave it in there and make sure I journaled about what my little goof did.  I think it’s fun to know I can look back and see what she did later and have the journaling to go along with it.

I very much appreciate being able to share my memory planning with you! I hope you enjoyed it as well!

Walking Journal/Planner

Well, hello Pebbles friends!  It’s Wendy Sue here, sharing a fun little idea in honor of National Walking Day! What?  You didn’t know it was National Walking Day? Well, it sure is!  And that is exactly why I’m renewing my efforts to get back into a regular walking/exercise routine!  And, since I’m all about lists and charts and visual evidence of my efforts, I whipped up a fun little journal/planner to keep track of my walking workouts!  Here’s a look at the finished project:Walking Journal by @WendySue featuring the "Patio Party" collection by @PebblesInc.

It was so easy put this together, and making it cute is extra motivation, right?

I started by creating a simple table and printing it out on cardstock.  Next, I trimmed a patterned paper to fit above the table:

I trimmed one of the tags from the patterned paper and created an additional tag to layer underneath.

I added a floral dimensional sticker, some die cut ephemera pieces, a gold pin, and some coordinating gingham ribbon.

I added some black thickers to spell out “Walk!” and then placed them on some text patterned paper.

I created my own dimensional stickers by placing foam adhesive on the back of the bee cardstock stickers. I didn’t want to cover up very much of the writing space, but I couldn’t resist placing this cute little flamingo in the corner.  His legs are great inspiration for walking, aren’t they? 😉

Of course, placing the piece on a cute clipboard and hanging it near my treadmill will be the perfect way to both display my cute creation and inspire my daily walks!
