It’s my daughters Birthday, I wanted to do something other than a card for her. I wanted to make her something that was personal to her, but something that she could carry on creating herself.
I decided to make her a travellers notebook. I would do sample page spreads to start her off then she could update it as a when she wanted, she would be able to print off memorable photos and use Stampin Up products to decorate her notebook spreads.
I asked her for some of her favourite photos of an occasion she would like to remember and document, she chose some photos of a Unicorn party she and some friends attended in 2019, I got the photos and I chose the DSP and dies and ink pads etc, that would match the photos, Expressions in Ink I thought would be ideal as the colours in the photos were so vibrant, young and fresh, also with that craft fabulous feel and full of bling, my daughter absolutely loves bling, glitter and all things over the top, no plain and simple for her.
I did two spreads and she absolutely loved them, she will do her own journaling, I made two tags and put them into little pockets on the spreads. She is now totally hooked on her travellers notebook, its a great way to keep your own memories, the size is not intimidating for a beginner crafter, there is no right or wrong way to do it, just do what suits you.
Stampin Up products take the headache out of colour matching as everything co-ordinates. I have an etsy shop where I sell retired and current DSP and co-ordinating cardstock, I will be adding my handmade travellers notebooks, covers, and notebooks soon all using Stampin up products, the link to my shop is above. Hope you like the spreads all items used are linked below.
