I've applied some BoBunny and Pentart mediums on the background, such as white gesso, classic crackle varnish, wax paste and iron paste to get a lot of texture.

Weekend Adventures Travel Journal with Katherine

Hi BoBunny Fans, as the summer is under way I wanted to share with you my travel journal, it was a great little project that I could take away with me and meant I was able to scrap in my tent!

Katherine Sutton - Sunshine Travel Journal

I made the book before I went and purposely kept the front cover clean and simple, so it was easy to store and nothing would get knocked off on it's travels.  I also had a go at some coptic binding.

It's fairly straight-forward - the hardest part was sewing the covers on.  To make the covers I used some cereal box type card, and then covered it in paper.  I cut 7 papers to be 10 by 8", scored them in the middle (so my pages are 5 by 8") and added little pin-prick holes at 1",2",3" then 5",6" and 7" with a pokey tool.  With Coptic binding you tend to add 4 papers together into what makes a signature and bind them all together, as the BoBunny paper is nice and thick I only used one piece of paper for each signature.  The best bit about  this sort of binding is that you can very easily lay your book flat as you work.

For my opening page I have a little pocket for receipts, tickets and other little bits from our travels, and then my first photo is our camp.  I haven't used much mixed media in this project because I was in a tent, but the pearlescents were a perfect embellishment to take with me.

You can see the stitching down the centre of the page from the binding.  The Good Vibes paper has lots of phrases on it, and they feature throughout my journal.

I also had lots of fun including lots of the icon stamps in my journaling - perfect for planners and journals alike.

I created a triangular pocket so that I could keep some of the leaflets about the area in my journal.

I used one of the cloud dies from the Fly Away die-set and added little gems to make rain drops....the weather wasn't perfect but we made the most of it!

I pre-made these journal spots using the chevron 6" pad before we left - I just picked out some colours that went with the papers.

I also added lots of stamped embellishments which I made before we left using the Woodland Critter stamp set.  I stamped and embossed them on watercolour card and then gave them a wash of colour

I think the bear is my favourite!

More bears in the form of the Bear Necessities die, and also some stamping from the Captured Stamp set - I cut out the This Week part and added it to one of the Noteworthy tags.

I hope you've enjoyed a little tour of my Travel Journal - it is a lovely project to take away with you and build up as you go - everything I needed fitted in a 12" box, and if you have a small photo printer then you can add the photos as you go.
