Document your holidays

Aug

Hello crafty friends it’s Lucile! Today I find you for a new article. One of the things I love doing the most is to document my vacation. Whether before leaving, during my trip or on my return I love to keep all my holiday memories. I love to use travelers, it’s the ideal format! This year I am going to Portugal, so I have prepared my itinerary page. I used the new block of stickers by Jen Hadfield and Pebbles , it is perfect for that. In addition, you can take it everywhere it does not take up space in the bag!

I started my page by adding a calendar of dates during which I will be in holiday. For that, I used the Journal Guide by We r memory keepers. It’s also a must when traveling, you can do a lot of things with it! I then added the dates using the stickers of the block and I added planes to note the trips by plane.

Then I noted the information of my flights of planes. For this I made boxes to separate important information and I added stickers to decorate the rest of my page.

On the second page I drew my itinerary. I added a stickers to do list that I cut to fit the size of my page. I noticed everything I did not forget to take on vacation. I finished decorating my page and adding stickers.

Finally I had fun writing a title and coloring it in the colors of my page. I hope you have enjoyed this page of travelers. I’ll see you again in a new article!

Oh Summertime Travel Journal

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today with a tutorial on how to create your own travel journal. This could be used to document your summer vacation adventures or to send with a child to summer camp. I decorated this one with the Oh Summertime collection.

Here is a peek at the inside pages… There is a side pocket that can be used to hold sticker sheets or ephemera pieces. You could even store postcards and stamps to send to friends and family when you are traveling.

There are 3 gusseted pocket pages that follow. You could store photos, postcards, or other memorabilia inside.

In the back I have added a notebook. I covered this one with pattern paper to pretty it up.

I have put together a YouTube tutorial complete with measurements. It is fairly easy to put together. I hope you have a look. Click here

Chasing Adventures Travel Journal

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.

Goals and Dreams Bullet Journal

Aug

Leave a Comment

Hi everyone, Heather Leopard is here and I’m sharing a goals and dreams bullet journal I created for my daughter who begins her first day of high school Monday. My idea for this was to create a way for her to document ideas about what she hopes her future holds. I may even add a few of my own thoughts for her future. I think it would be fun to include this in a time capsule with other things from her childhood.

I thought the llama paper was not only fun but I often say, “save the drama for your llama” and we all know high school can be full of drama. Perhaps this will turn into a way for her to journal that right out of her system. Ha!

So the first thing I did was cover a Traveler’s Notebook with the adorable little llamas from the My Bright Life collection. I think they’re so adorable striking their poses with the flowers in their hair. Soo cute. To cover this, I applied Sticky Thumb tape runner to the cover of the notebook and then laid it down on the back of the paper. Then I applied adhesive to the spine and the back cover and folded the paper over leaving paper hanging slightly over on the front and a bit more on the back. Same for the top and bottom. I did this because if you trim the paper to what you think the measurements are for the notebook, odds are you’ll be just a bit off. It’s much easier to do it this way and then trim around the edges with scissors. Trust me on that one.

I knew what I wanted for the main theme of the journal to be but we’ll get to that in a moment. I also wanted to add some inspiring words and the 2″ x 3″ cut apart cards in the 6″ x 6″ paper pad had exactly what I wanted. I just needed to choose which one I loved the most.

“You Can Totally Do This” was it so I cut that one out and adhered it with some foam adhesive over a dark contrasting patterned paper. I used the same colors and flowers as the llama and her pretty little flowers.

Now it’s time to go back to my main theme, “MAKE IT HAPPEN”. I love that you are in charge of your destiny and it’s all up to you to make it happen. I used gold foam Thickers and placed them over the flowers. Then I decided we needed more gold so I added a layer of gold plaid patterned paper.

It’s time to put it all together. I used tape runner adhesive again and left enough room on the edges to hang over just slightly and then just trimmed it up with scissors again.

So there you have it. I also sprinkled additional 2″ x 2″ and 2″ x 3″ notecards, die cuts and small puffy stickers to some of the inside pages. I’ll make sure to include more embellishments and papers in the package when I give this goals and dreams bullet journal to her so she can decorate the inside pages.

xoxo, Heather
