Travel Journal

My boyfriend and I are planning a little road trip. After he is done coaching soccer we plan to get away for the weekend. Recently, I have been loving making my own journals. This little road trip sparked the idea to bring along one of the journals I recently put together.

I used a scrap booking kit I got at Big Lots that was on clearance for $1.50 and some card stock. The kit included multiple sheets of 12x12 papers, tags, stickers, and ephemera. The overal feel of the kit was vintage travel. I added embellishments that matched from my stash of crafty goodies. The card stock I used to make the base of the book was 8.5xll and I just folded the sheets in half. For the binding I used the saddle stich technique. (click here for video)

The plan is to take this journal along with me and work on it some while I am traveling. Therefore, I put together a small kit of goodies I would possibly like to include. During the trip I will snap lots of photos, grab brochures and handouts, and journal part of our adventures. Those souvenirs will end up in my journal while traveling, and when I can get the photos printed I will add all the finishing touches. 

After I have completed my travel journal I will be sharing it on my blog!
