Midori Traveler's Notebook - Zipper Pouch Decorating

I decided to use the pocket of the midori traveler's notebook zipper pouch as my front dashboard.  I added some ephemera from Dear Lizzy and paper from the Fifth and Frolic collection.  The foiled elements are from Heidi Swapp's project life set.



In order to wrap washi tape on the project life cards, I ran them through my Scotch laminator.  I added some lines on the larger Heidi Swapp card in order to make a pencil board that I can use in another midori insert.  

I love how perfectly paired my Hobonichi Weeks fits into the Webster's Pages Traveler's Notebook.


I made a short YouTube Video showing my set up process for this Midori Insert.

Midori Inserts and Webster's Pages Traveler's Notebook

I really love the size and layout of the Webster's Pages Traveler's Notebook.  I purchased the walnut finish with rose gold interior.  I like that the interior pocket has card slots and a large enough sleeve to slide in my Hobonichi weeks.  The Midori items can be hard to find, but I found mine on JetPens.com
I ordered on Friday and the items arrived to me on Monday.  They package their items really well.  None of my inserts were delivered bent or creased.  Perfect!

The Webster's Pages Traveler's Notebook has 4 elastic bands.  So I put the Zip plastic insert around the first to band.  The card plastic insert around the last two bands.  Then I put one book on each elastic band.  They fit perfectly with plenty of room to grow.

Hobonichi Weeks Process Video 2016-001

This is my first attempt at bullet journaling.  I want to get a little more brave and creative in my Hobonichi Weeks.  So, I've been looking on Pinterest for ideas and tried some watercolor with my Peerless Watercolors, Kuratake water brushes and Staedlter pens.

Baby Girl Owl Themed Baby Shower

Water bottle designs are lace files found on the Silhouette Store.  I cut out background bands, then lace, then strip of paper to lace between.

Cloud Favor Boxes were found in Silhouette Store.  Silver tops and white cardstock bottoms.



Ties or Tutus? Gender Reveal Party

Is it a Boy? OR is it a Girl?
Our theme idea came from Pinterest "Ties or Tutus?"
The banner was cut on the Silhouette Cameo.  Embellished with handmade tulle rosettes.
The tie design was found on the Silhouette Store.
The Girl and Boy Silhouettes were also found in the Silhouette Store.

Wear your Guess:
The bows and mustache designs were also found on the Silhouette Store.
Bows if they guessed a GIRL.  Mustaches if they guessed a BOY.

Hey Girl Basic Grey Project Life Layout 2013

I skipped ahead to May since I'm so far behind on my Project Life.  I need to work on layouts that I feel like working on so that I don't get further "behind" and realize that I don't have to scrap everything! It's impossible in this digital age.  So I started with a project that I really wanted to make sure to document.

Supplies:
Hey Girl Collection by Basic Grey
Hey You Collection by Basic Grey
Blush Edition Project Life Cardstock and Kit cards


Bow is made with paper twine from Ikea. Hanger embellishment is from Hey Girl Basic Grey.



After I took the photos, I found my flair buttons that match the collection.  
I added "sweet" to this title card.

Project Life Cards using Maggie Holmes Collection

I decided to download the digital collection by Maggie Holmes.  For project life, I did buy a couple of the kits themselves.  I purchased the Blush edition and Honey edition along with the matching cardstock.  So to keep things simple, for embellishments I've been downloading a lot of digital content from ACdigitals.com and JessicaSprague.com

The card was designed on the Silhouette Cameo.  I used both the print and cut features.  The video below is a process video on how I made it from start to finish.  I think the only clip I left out on accident was embossing the cards.  The cards are embossed with a Sizzix Notebook embossing folder.
