Good morning fellow crafters :)Today I want to share with you my Traveling Journal. I came across this video on YouTube last year and thought it would be a blast to do. So I am doing this album with Val {her album is up on her blog}, Renee and Carrie {who all ROCK} and I'm so excited!!! Our albums will be traveling to each person and we'll all have different page prompts.
My cover and some of my pages are not done completely. I figured I'd complete them when I get my finished album back. I used an old book as my cover. I covered it with primer and painted it hot pink. Then I did a coat of clear Tim Holtz Rock Candy crackle paint. I found this cute zebra felt at Michaels and I just knew I had to use it. I sewed on some lace to make a ruffle and a red heart button. I also added some red heart washi tape on the ends of the covers.
Page 1) Intro pages. When I was putting this book together I had just received my last warehouse box from Sassafras, so I used a lot of those papers in this book. I made a little pocket for my page and some tags for each page. I embossed the little girl chipboard and dressed her up.
Page 2) Postcard from where you live and your favorite thing about where you live. I love this map paper, I can't remember who makes it though. The strip on the botton is a little pocket to hold the postcards.
Page 3) Doodle your name. This paper is from a DCWV stack, I think it's the Retro stack.
4) Your favorite color. Mine is green LOL Looking at this page now, I really don't like it. I may just do it over later on.
Page 5) Your favorite recipe. I love these papers from October Afternoon and the diecuts. I printed some cute owl recipe cards from My Owl Barn, you can find them here. 
6) Your favorite books. I love this bookcase wallpaper for the Iphone, so I printed it and added my "books" on pop dots.
7) Things you find super cute. I made a little collage from my "Super Cute" board on Pinterest. I've been hoarding this piece of Hambly paper for so long too.
8) Your favorite TV shows. Mine is Little House on the Prairie, journaling is behind the picture.
9) Favorite things from your childhood. I did another collage for this page, just some of my favorite things from the 80's. Ummm random fact: when I was a teenage I had all 4 walls and my ceiling completely covered in Duran Duran posters.
10) Your favorite scrapbook company. Sassafras {of course} :)
Way to rock this book!!!!! eek and Only one more day for me to wait!!! I love it! Can't wait to get to work on it!!!
ReplyDeleteawesome idea and very nice pages
ReplyDeleteHi Marlene! It's so good to hear someone has seen my work posted on Flickr- I was wondering if it was worth effort but it's the only way to have a gallery of sorts if you're on blogger. ANYWAY :)- I LOVE this journal!! Sassy is my favorite company too- I already miss them. Wonderful detailed work on this journal! The banner border on the last page is fantastic! Thanks for swinging by- am I finally meeting another NYC scrapper? PLEASE tell me I am!
