Travelin.....

A friend of mine 
is relocating
so I thought I would make
a journal/scrapbook for her
so this is a sketch pad turned travel journal
First I unwound the spiral binding




I had an atlas I used for the out sid
once I glued it on I reinserted the spirl binding


cutting out the route 
she will take



I glues a car button on the front
Her name will go  in
the checkered oval

Go West 
lyrics 



On the inside is the State of Ohio
I combined the state bird, tree flower int he corner
then had the state stats
on the left is a pocket 
with the map of our town


 the next pg was for the town she is moving to
and then the next few pgs
are the history of the town she is leaving


The red p gis
You know you are from Ohio if....


There are some pockets for mementos
I did make some tags so they weren't empty



The back pgs
are the same but for where she is going to




You know you are from AZ if....


this was fun to make
because I lived in AZ for 
25 years

  4. This is so cute! I'd be really excited if a friend gave me this too! And it kind of reminds me of one of my most favorite "art in the movies" moments - the scrapbook that Kirsten Dunst gives Orlando Bloom for his road trip in "Elizabethtown"... if you haven't seen the movie, it's amazing and always makes me want to create something like what you did! : )

  13. Great gift idea! I cannot believe this: I JUST posted my 'Travel Journal Tutorial' on Hodgepodge Friday, and when I checked to see if the thumbnail had worked, YOUR travel journal was right next to it!! What are the chances of that happening?? Anyway, fun to have found you on Hodgepodge Friday!
