Lauren ~~ Traveler's Notebook Promo Kit -- Love Your Style !!

I am absolutely loving this format of documenting memories.

If you are on the fence about starting traveler's notebook then I hope you jump down from the fence and get on the bandwagon. You will be pleasantly suprised!!

Today I drew inspiration from the large frame in the promo kit, and got brave. I cut the photo to fit in the middle with half the frame on either side of the layout (falling off the edges of the pages). Such a fun effect.

Embellishment clusters that included flowers on both frames.

Washi stripes to fill in the blank space on top and bottom where frames were not.

I then got doodle happy with my sharpie.....

Adding a scripting title and scribbley borders around the frames and photos.

I just love the way it ended up even though I had no idea when I started.

Lauren ~~ Traveler's Notebook Promo Kit -- Spring Landscape photo layout

There are wonderful promo kits that Raelene has been providing the design team in preparation for the release of the Traveler's Notebook Kit in autumn.

I started this layout with a horizontal 4 x 6 photo that depicted how the layout started.

I turned the TN insert sideways and placed the photo on the top half.

Was then so much fun to play with the cards and tags and washi and die cuts to arrange a beautiful spring inspired cluster on the bottom side.

Was then nice to balance the whole layout off with a title and some die cut flowers to top right side of photo and layout. 

Enjoy the close ups and the final photo of full layout of the TN insert layout. 

Make sure keep eyes peeled for the grand reveal and start of TN kits, starting with Autumn kit. You can subscribe in preparation for the wonderful kits so you wont miss out....

Sweet Pink Travelers Notebook Layout

The bi-monthly Travelers Notebook is just full of beautiful amazing goodies to keep you going longer than two months!!

The first time I sat down to start using the kit I was inspired to make 11 layouts in my travelers notebook - filling it up. In fact the only reason I didn't make more was that I had to make another notebook and I wasn't in mood to change creativity path at that time hehe. 

This page started from wanting to use the pink "lacey" border sticker, I placed it on the left hand side and then looked through my pile of photos to find this perfect one.I stuck the photo down, slightly under the border sticker to make it feel like part of the layers rather than plonked on the page.

The next step was to choose one of the glorious patterned paper to cover the right hand side of the travelers notebook. I settled on this lovely pink patterned paper (they are all cut to the right size to cover a page in traditional travelers notebook).

Stepping back to look I knew I needed some embellishments to finish off the layout. I used one of these lovely instax inspired frame stickers - using it as a journaling spot. Finishing that cluster off with a flower and arrows - so that your eyes are drawn towards the journaling and the photo rather than off the page.

To balance the whole layout - I added a small cluster to the top of the photo, causing a diagonal design (which also draws eyes to the photo then across to journaling and back again.)

This cluster comprised of a strip of washi tape (as always there were perfect matching patterns to choose from in the kit), an one inch circle that says Right Now and a camera - that looks like wood veneer. Perfection!

Thanks for stopping by,

Coralee ~ Spring Mood Board Challenge

Hello again Scrapbooking friends! I'm pretty excited to share my Mood Board Challenge layout with you all today. If you aren't familiar with this challenge you can read about it HERE. Make sure you enter for the chance to win a kit credit!

For this challenge I decided to do a travellers notebook layout. I was drawn to the pinks and greens, and of course the flowers! So some things from my mums stash were used while I was visting the family at the beginning of the month.

Something I have really loved while browsing Travellers Notebook layouts is having the patterned paper on one side and white on the other. Something about it is really aesthetically pleasing to me. So I went ahead and used this pretty floral paper on the left. 

I then layered some card stock behind the photo of my daughter. I tried using just 1 piece of card stock but it didn't look right. Layering also meant that I could tie in all the colours I was using even more. 

For the spotted flags and strips I used some washi on white card stock. This makes the design more opaque and easier to work with (easier to cut a triangle out, move around etc). Some scraps of the card stock, gold circle stickers and journal-ling and I was practically done! The last finishing touch was the date which I used the stamp in the basic kit for.

Once I was finished I realised there was a little mark in the top right area of the page, so popping the smile tag over it was a simple fix that also added to the page.

I hope you enjoyed my Mood Board Layout and I am looking forward to seeing your entries!
