So today I caught two severe bugs... the TN bug and the lamination bug. TN simply means travellers notebook and is a form of junk journal which is designed to be re useable. Thats the basic summary of the idea. Planners and planning is so current right now and travellers notebooks are super popular as is creating your own.
All you really need is a good co-ordinating paper stack with a co-ordinating card...I used Bundle of love papers and blushing bride card. Also a variety of cute stamps to create quotes and journaling cards. I use the stamp sets listed below as a starter and my Memories and more Petal garden pack for ready made journal cards. A laminator is useful but not essential you can still create a great travellers notebook without one, a laminator just makes it more durable and re useable.
It real is fun and all you need to do after finishing your travellers notebook is continue having fun decorating it ....win win I love these!
To make it easy for you to create one at home I have a full step by step YouTube tutorial for you to follow. Products used and measurements are listed below. So grab a brew get comfy and enjoy the video.
Happy Stamping xxx Amanda
