Process Video #43 | Traveler's Notebook

I have another process video below and on my YouTube channel HERE.  This time I shared some thoughts while working in my Traveler's Notebook, and hopefully I give you some pointers for yours.

I used embellishments from Gossamer Blue's April kits along with Crate Paper Oasis collection + some washi from my stash.

I don't think I could enjoy working in TN's more than I already do.  It's a fast process for me, and such an easy way to document daily life.  I'm not sure if I would quit doing 12x12 pages and work solely in TN's, but I have to say doing these little notebooks makes me just as happy as a full layout. I know a few girls who aren't doing 12x12's anymore and it's something I really do think about.... but for now I'll keep this as my weekly, chronological memory keeping.

Do what makes YOU happy!

Video | 2017 TN Vol. 2 COMPLETED

Sharing my completed Vol. 2 Traveler's Notebook over on my YouTube Channel today!

I'm not so great at catching photos of my TN, especially this chunky monkey, so I apologize for the lack of photos to accompany this post.

Thanks for watching my video!

TN | Vol 2, Part 1

Well Happy Friday!

I have a quick video sharing the latest progress on my traveler's notebook.  Check it out below or on my YouTube Channel HERE.

As I said in the video, I am just letting it flow with this project.  No worrying about where a month starts or ends in each insert, not thinking about where I'll put all these memories when the year is over....I'm just doing this for the fun of creating!

I'm having a hard time photographing my TN, so if you have tips please let me know!  I didn't really edit these photos, so.....yeah ;)

Have a great weekend!

Fri-yay!

Gossamer Blue | 2017 TN Vol I

I made a quick walk-thru of my Traveler's Notebook so far.....

I plan to use Gossamer Blue Life Pages and Planner kits, along with a few items from my stash as I need them (doilies, washi, die cuts, etc.).

These were die cuts I made with Maya Road geo feather die for another project.  I also added in labels using my Dynamo label maker, and stamps from older GB kits.

This page is GB January kit items plus gold alphas from my stash.

I purchased a mega date stamp from Studio Calico last year, using it again this year because it's so fun :)  More GB January kit items.....

This is a sheet of patterned paper that I fussy cut to show the ups and downs I've been feeling about Jamberry, adding in enamels to further that feeling on the page.

I think it's nap time ;)

Gossamer Blue | December Memories 2016

I finished my GB DM the other day and filmed a super-quick walk thru video, please check it out below!

As I mention in the video, working in a Traveler's Notebook for the first time was a big experiment; I absolutely love this format and will continue some kind of TN in 2017.  I love the size, I love the randomness of it, I love just about everything about TN's!

I used a mix of the GB December Memories kit and the December Life Pages kit for this project. Click the words to find the December Memories kit in the GB shop (LP is sold out).  I added in some inks and washi tape from my stash to round out the album.

I opted to only go thru Christmas Day, and didn't include a ton of photos from Christmas because I plan to scrap those on regular layouts.

This is by far my favorite December Memories kit that I've done so far.  I found it much more freeing than a daily album.  I did a blog post for GB on my approach, and you can find that HERE.

Thanks for watching my video, I am hard at work creating projects for CHA, my first time creating for the big trade show!  I can't wait to share those projects but it won't be until after the show is over at the end of this month.

I'll be back soon, but it will be a little light on the posts around here for the next week or so.

Happy 2017!
