vacation travel journal

We are on a family vacation this week in the Outer Banks, NC :) I threw this little travel journal together last minute (as in, the morning we left... yes, I like to plan ahead. Ha! ;)) and am using it to document our trip. As usual, I am journaling throughout the trip and will fill it with pictures when we return and I am able to have them printed.

For the cover, I used a vintage map of the North Carolina coast (that shows the Outer Banks where we are!), vintage ledger, some Studio Calico paper and foam letters and paper from the packaging. Inside is solid colored cardstock, a lot of paper from Studio Calico's new line "Atlantic" and some other papers. 

I love, love, love making and using travel journals (like this one and this one from past trips). So fun to look back through after the vacation or trip is over :)

  1. Cute. I'm a few years behind in printing pictures from all my travels. I love looking at everyone else's stuff though!

  2. Great journal, can't believe you found the chance to make it on the day you left! It reminds me of one I did about our fortnight in East Cork, I used a tourist map to cover mine, but didn't make the journal, just used a sketch book. You have inspired me to make my own for our next trip (Italy...). Thank you x
