By the Seaside Traveler's Notebook, a Tutorial Featuring the New "Slotted Hinge"

 Good morning! 

I have another design team project for you for Country Craft Creations!

My tutorial is live for the Travelers Notebook that I did with Simple Stories "Simple Vintage Lakeside" and Country Craft Creations "By the Seaside".  

This features a NEW "Slotted Hinge" that I created.  

With an amazing collaboration with Jacqualine Hart, she has created a SVG file you can access through the tutorials. She also has done a variation of this hinge and has a tutorial to share as well.  

There are A LOT OF LINKS and INFORMATION in the video's description. I hope you enjoy it!

Stay crafty, my friends!

Remember the Time, Monthly Notebook Tutorial

 

I created these fun notebooks for every month using the gorgeous paper collection "Remember the Time" from Country Craft Creations.  This is a quick tutorial and fun to do, and will show you how to do the pamphlet stitch if you aren't familiar with it.  

Thanks for watching, and stay crafty, my friends.

Nano size Travelers Notebook/Junk Journal

 I was given a box of beautiful goodies, “Flowers”, from Amanda at Your Creative  Studio, https://ycvstudio.com/  and I made the absolutely cutest little project. 

Have you heard of the nano sized traveler’s notebooks?  Neither had I but I discovered it and decided to make one. I love this little pocket sized notebook. Come check it out!

The goodies I used are gorgeous and perfect for this book  I used Kraft-Tex for the cover, purchased from Country Craft Creations.  You can find it here.  https://www.countrycraftcreations.com/products/kraft-tex-kraft-paper-fabric-sampler-pack-8-5x11-10-pkg

Thanks for stopping by. Stay Crafty, my Friends!

 Happy New Year!  

Let's make some fun inserts for your Travelers Notebook!

I am adding to the Travelers Notebook that I just made for the Country Craft Creations New Year's Eve Crop.  

I am making a folder and even some junk journals for it.  I will also show you how to make a simplified larger junk journal with the pamphlet stitch.  

I am using found papers from my stash and leftover design team package papers for this tutorial.  

I hope that you like the tutorial.  This junk journal was done from a request from one of our Country Craft Creations members!  Other designers will be doing other projects also.  I can't wait to see what they come up with.  

Check out Country Craft Creations for the Graphic 45 Travelers Notebook, the Simple Stories Hearth and Home paper collection, and the Kraft Artisan Cardstock.

I have made another visual cutting guide for you.  I know I am a visual person, so I think it will be helpful, and it will also let you know how to cut your card stock to get the most out of it with little waste.

ADDENDUM!!!  7-10-19

I had an error on the cutting guide on page 4.  Below is a picture of the CORRECT measurements for the middle page and a reconfigured cutting guide for that page.  I'm sorry if it caused any inconvenience!

Thank you for visiting.  As always, if you have any questions please ask and I will get back to you as soon as I can.  Have fun with this...it's a quick and easy, and functional project!

Another Traveler's Notebook!

Good Day!

I have another fun project that took about 5 minutes, and turned out great!  

I love notebooks and I knew that the two lines of products would come together well!

 The notebook cover I found at Michael's is by Molly and Rex.  They have notebooks to go with it, but I already had some I wanted to use!

 I had these great notebooks by the Reset Girl in my stash.  Her new line was coming out and these were being clearanced.

 I was able to fit 5 books in this cover, and there is room to spare.  I love it!

Thanks for coming by, and I hope you have a crafty day!

DIY Traveler's Notebook

 This was a fun project!  A friend of mine gave me some leather, and I knew that I needed to make this.  I had some notebooks, and went to JoAnn's and got some more, and made this book.  It turned out awesome! The band you see is a loop by Tim Holtz.  The attacher is also by him, and the key I used is by Recollections.

 I punched holes, two at the top and bottom for the elastics, and one in the middle for the loop closure.

 Here is the top view with 6 notebooks of beautiful note taking pleasure.

 Here are a couple of the notebooks.  They are by Webster's Pages.

 They also came out with a plastic pocket, and I put the stickers I had in my stash in them.

It's cute!  I love how it turned out, but I think one or two of the books have to go.  It is a bit thick, but it is able to accommodate it, which is cool!

Happy note taking!
