Finishing My First Creative Journal

Hi Lisa here today and I'm adding my final page to my creative journal.
This is the first time that I'm finishing one of my journals. It feels so great.
This was our 2018 US Roadtrip.

I'm using the Crate Paper - All Heart - Collection here.

And you can watch a video process of the page being made along with a final flip through of the journal here.

This is the final page at the back. I used the frames from the collection to create little mini flip albums. Each one holds 5 photos. Such a great way to add a few photos.

I also used the packaging from the frames to journal on and added the stickers to decorate.
This collection is so happy!

On the reverse of each photo I've added one of the matching papers to journal on.

 

And here is my finished journal. I'm so pleased with it. It's so colourful!!

I really hope you enjoy the video.

Thanks for watching.

Good Times Ahead...So Time to Catch Up!!

Hi Lisa here!!
I have a question for you....do you feel like you always need to keep up with your scrapbooking or do you just scrap as and when you want to?

I have always taken that approach, but since using traveler's notebooks too, there's a big part of me that now wants to finish my notebooks. I guess when scrapbooking 12x12's you just keep going. There isn't really an end. But right now I'm feeling like I really want to finish my notebooks. I think even more so as another trip comes closer I just feel like I need to finish documenting a previous trip.
So today I'm sharing a couple of pages in my notebook where I'm trying to finish up our US 2018 road trip.

 

 

I'm a little obsessed with this paper line from Crate Paper - All Heart.
It was the polaroid pics that caught me eye. I thought they'd be so much fun to cut out.

I used a craft knife to cut out the centres and popped my photos in at angels.
I also added a wooden 'today' as my title. I painted it pink and wrote over in my black journal pen.

I used the stickers to coordinate aswell. They embellish my page so beautifully.

I didn't stick my paper fully down and made lots of little snips in to end of the paper to create a frill.

Trying to get my trip documented I created a quick page whilst watching tv. This one was so quick.
I love the reverse of this paper here so much. I love how it looks creased.

l cut some of the elements from one of the papers to use as embellishments here and some of the stickers too. I love how quick this one came together.

I hope this has inspired you to get some quick pages made.
I'm so close to finishing my notebook now : )

Have a creative week.
love

Lisa xx
