Travel Journal

With plans to travel to sunnier climes I wanted to make a journal from these fabulous book covers from 7 gypsies.  They didn’t need much altering but I added a steampunk charm and Dresden wings with a brad to the top of the Eiffel Tower.   A cinema ticket from a pack of ephemera and the word travel finished the front cover.   The word travel I embossed onto a scrap of thin card using a dymo  punch.

I cut some black card for the pages and sewed them together with a simple signature method, covering the stitches with pieces of the black twill tape  and inserting black lace between the cover and first page.

I covered the first page with the postcard paper adding a mini envelope decorated with scraps and tag (with another piece of twill tape stapled to secure it to the tag.

The pages are decorated with 7 Gypsies rub-ons, German scraps and a mask and feather sticker.   Now my journal is ready for a French travel adventure.
