On the 12th May 2023, the Mass Observation Archive repeated its annual call for day diaries, capturing the everyday lives of people across the UK. I treated the day like a Day in the Life entry and my key word was detail. I wrote the timed entries without much thought to structure. I didn’t add any photos this year, simply because I hardly … Continue reading Mass Observation Day | 12 May 2023
There are still quite a few weeks to wait before my solo adventure in New York City, but that hasn't stopped me from beginning to put my Traveler's Notebook together. 🙂 All the journaling/filler cards are from In a Creative Bubble, patterned paper from Doodlebug Design and embellishments are from my stash. I trimmed pages … Continue reading New York City 2023 | Traveler’s Notebook
I've finished the Summer Road Trip | Belgium scrapbook - I used an 8x6 album I had in my stash (I think it's Simple Stories), and all the journaling cards and embellishments are from In a Creative Bubble. I'm happy with the finished result. Click on the images for a clearer view.
A humble travelers notebook and journaling/filler cards from In a Creative Bubble have made completion of this year's Northern Road Trip quick and effective. I took the TN with me, but didn't write a single word of journaling while we were away; everything was added once home. I kept things simple and it all came together … Continue reading Northern Road Trip 2022 | The Completed Journal
Our Northern Road Trip to South Lakeland is fast approaching and I will be recording the days away in a travelers notebook. The finished TN will be very similar in style to last year's journal. All the journaling cards will be from In a Creative Bubble. I have added reminders here and there and trimmed … Continue reading The Travelers Notebook | Northern Road Trip 2022

Initially I thought there would be a lot of spare pages at the rear of the book, but it seems that I've timed it to perfection and finished recording our trip on the very last page. 🙂 Trimming some of the journal's pages worked out well - they definitely add definition and … Continue reading Road Trip Jersey 2022 | The Completed Journal

Our trip to Jersey is looming and I've been working on the foundation pages for the journal I'll use to record the details of our visit. I'm using a bigger-than-usual travelers notebook - the measurements come in at approximately 8x5 inches. The patterned paper is from Bella Blvd's You Are My Sunshine range and the … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2022 | The Jersey Album
I've lost my way a little with my scrapbooking recently, storage space for new albums is almost non-existent and I'm about done with taking a large bag of stash with me when we travel. But that doesn't mean I wasn't up to the job of recording our recent road trip to South Lakeland. Enter the … Continue reading Recording Our Northern Road Trip
As with the two other 6x8 travel journals from our travels this year, I created all the foundation pages before we went to Normandy. And just like with those other journals, I used Project Life style cards from In a Creative Bubble. Album spine damaged either at the wholesaler or en route to the stockist. … Continue reading Road Trip to Normandy | The 6×8 Travel Journal
