Hi.

Welcome to A Pocketful of Licorice, my memory-keeping, art-journaling, book-reading, world-traveling blog. I'm Anja. Nice to meet you.

Hi there! Today, I want to share a couple traveler's notebook layouts I did with the July kits from Kelly Purkey Shop. This month's traveler's notebook kit was designed by Life Love Paper, and it's book-themed, which is right up my alley. I LOVE the stamp set that came with it!

For the first layout, I took some photos of a few of the books I read that month.

I layered some cards from the main kit and some of the label stickers, along with my photos, to fill up the right hand page. I used stamps from the kit to add detail and notes. The "devoured this" stamp is my favorite!

On the left hand page, I used a full sheet of patterned paper form the kit, since I loved the word art Tina created so much.

I finished it up with some washi tape and letter stickers. I can tell I'll be using this stamp set to document my reading a lot in the future. 

The other layout I did highlights a visit to Strand Books in New York City. It's been on my list of places to visit for a while, and I finally got a chance to go. The photo I used is of the chalk wall outside the store.

I printed a full page photo for the right hand page, and used a full sheet of patterned paper on the left hand page. The shopping bag paper was perfect, because I definitely spent too much!

I added some label stickers for the date and a little journaling. This one was super simple.

This kit sold out quick, but there's a great sale going on right now at the shop, with stamp sets as low as $5! Check it out!
