Traveling Notebook

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge has another fun challenge for you. The theme of this week is "You've got airmail". When I think of airmail, I think of airplanes,  when I think of airplanes I think of traveling. So I made this travel notebook I will take it with me on my trips. I can't wait to see what you come up with for this challenge!


I wanted something where I can store my receipts, brochures and other things that I gather during my trips in. I also wanted to have room to write my adventures down. I used the stunning Fly Away paper line by Teresa Collins, together with the matching stamps and washi tape. To cover the spine I used Bazzil Kraft card stock.


The cover I kept as flat as possible so that it's convenient to travel with and not everything falls off or gets damaged. The wooden camera and potty girl will probably be okay... I hope...



On the left I made three compartments to store my gathered stuff in. There is room for small receipts to larger brochures or maps.
On the right I made room for journaling. Here I can write my adventures. I have a transparency sheet and decorated with washitape to ensure that the paper will stay nice and not curl or get dirty.

This is so fabulous! It made me want to go travel just so I could be inspired to make a notebook as gorgeous as this! Love both the inside pockets and the outside cover (especially the pennants hanging down at the top). You've got skills, my friend, that is for sure!

This is a wonderful book, especially nice after it is filled. I love the papers and the banners you put on it. The inside is fabulous with all those pockets and bits. This will be a very nice treasure.
Hugs Kelly

Sorry Sandra, nearly missed this, and boy would that have been a mistake. It's one of the best travel books I've seen - love the washi tape banner strips and that transparency sheet idea is inspired! A gorgeous project from a very clever lady. Hugs, Jenny x
