Now, take a look at the great inspiration for creating traveler’s journals using this year’s sketch downlaod from the Traveler’s Journal team.
“I have found that using Sketches are a great tool to get the creative juices rolling. Take them as an idea to play around with and they can turn a simple idea into beautiful Traveler’s Journals, cards, and scrapbook layouts! Let me show you how I used them to jump start my Traveler’s Journal of Lake Memories.”
