Emotional Baggage

Emotional Baggage

Hi there! Just popping in today to share some recent traveler’s notebook layouts I created using the November release from Kelly Purkey Shop - another really inspiring one!

One of my favorite things to do in my traveler’s notebooks is create a repeating stamped pattern. As soon as I saw this “emotional baggage” stamp, part of the Feel It All Mini Kit designed by Life Love Paper, I knew that’s exactly what I wanted to do with it. The layout is pretty simple because I wanted to make sure the pattern was the center of attention.

The other three traveler’s notebook layouts I create feature the Cobble Hill alphabet, another great one for oversized titles!

I really love this alpha! Here, I used colored pencils to highlight the letters to match my Jane Lane costume. I also love the stamp set included in the Best of the Best main monthly kit. It lets you build the most perfect journaling boxes!

On my “green cup” layout, the Cobble Hill alpha again features prominently, as does the “Stay Warm” stamp set designed by Life Love Paper. I used it to create the cutest snowflake accents.

I love all the different ways you could combine the shapes and snowflakes in this set!

And finally, I had to use the “winter is coming” stamp from this month’s traveler’s notebook kit to make a layout about Game of Thrones, because duh.

I covered the entire page with the phrase, then heat embossed snowflakes on vellum and layered it over the word pattern. I like the texture it gives my layout.

To say I’m excited to see the final season in 2019 is a bit of an understatement.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my traveler’s notebook layouts. I had so much fun making them!
