Travelers notebook – Crafty Concepts with Erin

If you have been following me for a while, you know I am typically a 12×12 scrapbooker. I really wanted to create a garden journal to document this season so a traveler’s notebook seemed like the right choice for the project. I quickly discovered that a layout is a layout and if it inspires you, you can easily alter the scale to fit your scrapbooking needs!

Be sure to check out the YouTube tutorial below to see this layout come together.

Here’s a look at the entire spread below. I just noticed one of my jute bows wasn’t adhered down yet and moved a bit for the photo 😂 🤣. I went ahead and fixed that after the photo shoot. Too funny! I found this format perfect for utilizing scraps from my paper packs. It came together so quickly and I think I’m really going to enjoy creating this little journal.

I’m loving these beautiful garden tags from the June Stamp of the Month. They coordinate beautifully with the Tabs & Tags Thin Cut Dies. You can get the SOTM free with any $50 purchase for the month of June. I really like how I can type up my journaling on the computer and then die cut with the Tag Thin Cut. You can downsize the font to add more information while keeping it neat and tidy.

My title, “Sunny Days”, came from an unexpected stamp set. The Seas The Day scrapbooking stamp is definitely a nautical inspired set which I love. One might not consider it for a garden journal but the phrase Sunny Days is so versatile it can work for numerous themed layouts. I love to stretch my stash and get more out of the stamp sets I already have.

Below you can see a photo gallery of some of the main supplies I used to create this layout. The Garden Tags set is only available for the month of June so grab yours before it’s gone.
