Traveler's Notebook Spread | Live in Wonder

When it comes to traveler's notebooks I love that they are versatile enough to work with a clean and simple style, a mixed media style, or even to add cut files too.  And since I'm a fan of all three that works out pretty well for me!

Over the weekend I had this TN spread up on the Clique Kits blog that uses both mixed media and a cut file.  I've used the February Traveler's Notebook kit from Clique Kits and played with some watercolours to back a pretty floral cut file in the same colour palette as the ephemera on the page, which is from the Pinkfresh Studio Indigo Hills 2 collection.

If you'd like to see the full layout you can find it here on the Clique Kits blog.

Pocket Pages | Studio Calico

So I still have a few weeks to fill in my 2018 album, and this is one of them - week 42 which is back in October.

I've used the Studio Calico Letters Home documenter kit for this spread, and added a 3x8 pocket that I sealed with my Fuse tool to create two 3x4 pockets.

My colour palette this week is more gentle with greys and sage greens, and pops of contrasting blacks which work so well with my photos for the week.

I recoloured one of my Studio Calico digital labels in photoshop, and added dates on my computer with a vintage typewriter font.  Then I used the stickers in the kit to record the week number above that.

I take so many photos in Snapchat but they totally don't work to fill a 3x4in pocket page.  So that I could use this entire photo in my weekly spread (our need for coffee is totally important to record right!?) I printed my photo at 3.5in high, which made it just over 2in wide. I added it to a 3x4 card and it left just a perfect amount of space for a little vertical journalling.  I love how this card turned out!

The reverse of my insert has a brighter palette, with some Jacaranda flowers and a beautiful green paddock from my cousin Heather's totally amazing country wedding ceremony.

I love these black and transparent ephemera pieces that came in the SC documenter kit this month.  

I added some journalling on this ledger card, right justified the text and stamped my Heidi Swapp date stamp at the top.

And with that I called my layout done!  Love how this one turned out, especially with that cheeky photo of Lil after running through the sea foam on our beach.  She definitely needed a good bath that morning!

2019 Project Life Plans & Title Page

Hi friends!

Welcome to 2019, a brand new year and the chance for new starts!

When it comes to pocket page scrapbooking, the end of a year is a bit like a full stop, or the end of a chapter.  A new year is a chance to choose a different approach, a different sized album, new products and I just love that.

The past three years that I've been doing pocket page scrapbooking I've used a 6x8 album and, while I loved it, I really wondered if it was time for a change this year.  

My journalling had also been in variations of the Avenir font for those same three years, and it was definitely time for a change up there.

So, what have I planned for my pocket page album this year?...

I've decided to jump right in and change up my album size to a 6x12.  I've decided on this Charcoal cloth album from Studio Calico, and since I generally fit half a year into each SC album, I've ordered two of them.  

I'd like to do a double page spread each week, but some weeks might be a single page spread if I don't have many photos. 

I'm thinking I'd like to try white borders on all my photos, I did start this in 2017 but got bored with it, so we'll see how that goes.

I've also found a cute new font that I adore.  It's still sans serif but has nice height and spacing between the rows... does that sound too font geeky!?

And I want to use more sequins, more lace and ribbon (and all the pom pom trim), all those fun things.  

And so, here is my title page for 2019 using the beautiful October 2018 Clique Kits travellers notebook kit.  The page includes a lot of the techniques and styles I'd like to use this year, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

What are your plans for your 2019 pocket pages?  Are you starting back after a break, changing up your album size or style?  I'd love to hear your plans.
