Melissa’s Fab Friday Feature

PTI Video Series with Shauna Todd – Pop-Up Florals

Guest Designer – Shauna – Feathered Friends

Traveler’s Journal Ambassador: Heather Nichols

January 8, 2018      Papertrey Ink      8 Comments

Hi everyone and welcome to this month’s Traveler’s Journal feature! Today the Traveler’s Journal team and I are sharing layouts we did in our journals using sketches. Sketches can be a great tool when doing any sort of project – a card, a tag, a scrapbook page, etc. They can help when you are short on time and need a quick idea to get started and they can help when your inspiration/mojo is low to springboard your creativity. One of the best thing about sketches is that you can follow them exactly as they are or you can be as flexible as you want with them.

I put together a collection of six sketches to inspire you with you Traveler’s Journal layouts. You can click the link below the graphic to download a PDF file of the sketches. You can reference the sketches next time you are putting together a layout spread in your journal.

CLICK HERE to download a PDF file of the Traveler’s Journal sketches.

 

I used the sketch on the top left of the PDF file to create this first layout spread:

I did some layouts of the trip that I took with Chad last November to Disneyland. We went just the two of us to celebrate our 20th anniversary. I challenged myself to use the layout that uses one photo across both pages. It’s a little scary to cut a photo in half, but I love the results!

I made my own patterned paper with a Mickey Mouse punch, Pure Poppy & True Black cardstock, a star stamp, and Fresh Snow ink. A really great PTI color combination for Disney? Pure Poppy, True Black, and Summer Sunrise.

I put a strip of the patterned paper on the left side of this page along with a bit of gingham trim. I typed up some journaling on my typewriter and attached it to the right end of the photo.

On the opposite page, I added a title with the Headline and Script Alphabet dies along with the geo-marker symbol that is part of the Traveler’s Journal: Envelope die collection. Under the title I added a few more details like the date and some fun typed words from the Traveler’s Journal: Typed Words stamp set.

 

For my the next layout spread, I used the sketch on the bottom right of the PDF file:

This layout spread includes five photos – can you believe that? That’s pretty impressive considering the smaller size of the Traveler’s Journals.

This page includes four photos from our trip that I think capture some of the fun that we had. This was my first time to Disneyland – we have been to Disney World several times. It was fun exploring everything there with Chad and we even met up with a few special friends too.

On this page, the sketch suggests a full page of patterned paper, but I decided to do a full page photo instead. I incorporated the title with the photo – how fun is that? I die cut the “adventure” word from Summer Sunrise cardstock and added a few stamped word strips above and below that.

This photo idea was one I saw on Pinterest quite a long while ago and was excited to actually make it happen for real while we were there!


Supplies:

  • STAMPS: Traveler’s Journal: Adventure, Traveler’s Journal: Typed Notes
  • INK: True Black, Fresh Snow

  • DIES: Traveler’s Journal: Envelope, Traveler’s Journal: Outer Cover, Headline Alphabet, Script Alphabet

The Traveler’s Journal team took the sketches from the PDF file and created some fantastic layout spreads to share with you today. You are going to love what they came up with!

“Sketches are a great way to get yourself out of a creative rut, or even just a fun way to work through a bunch of layouts really quickly if you’re on a deadline. I put together a couple cute Valentine’s layouts of pictures of my kiddos using an interpretation of the sketches Heather provided. I hope you will join me on my blog as I lay out (pun intended haha) the way I put them all together! “

    Thank you for these ideas. Although I was a scrapbooker long before I made cards, I’ve been having trouble with the tiny format of the Travel Journal. I have two unfinished little booklets in great need of some of these tips! The .pdf is a great help!

    I’ve never been a scrapbooker but love these smaller journals. In fact, I think I’m going to make some up before our “girls” week in Boston so each of us can have one. Afterwards, I’ll just have to add the pictures. Thanks for sharing part of your lives and also the sketches!
