Sometimes an event just calls for a mini album. You may have a lot of photos to document, or are just itching to use a collection of supplies. Today, Andrea Gray is sharing a beautiful traveler’s notebook that she created using the new Live Laugh Love Collection, and she’s sharing her process so you can create one, too! Let’s take a look.
Hello friends! I couldn’t be more excited to share this project with you which shows off the brand new Live Laugh Collection! In a nutshell, I used the papers to build my own traveler’s notebook for documenting my day at PlannerCon2017 and I wanted to really show more than just the final product. So along the way, I snapped photos of how I put it together. Each photo below is a set of process photos and I will talk about each part, but then I also have a video look inside so you can see the end result up close and personal.
These photos will go from left to right so you can follow along:
1. I selected 12″ x 12″ and 6″ x 6″ patterned papers that I would match my photos.
2. I cut the larger papers down to traveler’s notebook size (8.25″ wide and 8.75″ long)
3. I then arranged them in an order that would put coordinating papers next to each other.
4. Same as step above.
5. I laid out photos and die cuts I wanted to use.
6. Once the pages were arranged how I wanted, I gave them a slight fold so I had a guide for the stitch.
7. I ran the whole book right through my sewing machine. (One tip, make the stitch a healthy length. If you make it too short then the pages will perforate. Trust me on that!)
8. Now you have a book!
9. Here is a quick peek inside so you can see how some pages look when opened.
10. I narrowed down the supplies I wanted to use and stored them in a flat tray to keep them handy while I worked on the book.
11. Here is a closeup of the embellishments I used.
12. And the cover – all finished!
This is probably a great time to share the video with you so you can see how it all came together. Then you will have some more detailed photos to follow!
