Travel Journal

Hi Stampers, Crafters and Blog Followers,

Here's something I made for my mother-in-law as she packed her bags and headed off over to Europe. Funny thing is that it was kind of my daughter's idea. As we were "reading" our junk mail, she came across the Aldi catalogue, her second favourite, yep, the only one that trumps it is Spotlight! Anyway, in the Aldi catalogue they had journals with boats and my daughter pointed and said, Nanny. So that's where the idea came from. In my head, it was going to look a lot different to this. I wanted to use maps instead of brown paper, but left my run a little too late (as per usual) to get my hands on some. So I grabbed some stickers from a craft shop in town, a journal from the Reject Shop and raided my paper and sticker collection to come up with this one.

I'm not a journaler myself, but I thought that if I was, I'd have a stack of things that I would shove into my journal and then they would all fall out, so a pocket might come in handy, really easy scoring the sides and bottom and sticking with sticky strip. oh and the circle punch up the top.

Then something simple on the back. A stamp sticker and my mark, have to have it! :) And you may have even noticed I grabbed a greylead pencil and wrapped it in brown paper too. It was also stuck with the amazing sticky strip!

I just needed to prove to you that I do do other things in my study other than punch art cards! :P

Keep leaving your mark,
Brooke
