Hello there friends!!
Today, I am sharing a traveler’s journal that I used to document my trip to Creativation in Arizona this past January.
The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with some product to create this project. The opinions I share are solely my own.
I was planning to create something special to remember this trip and had always had the cactus/stars stencil in the back of my head to use. I printed out some of my favorite pictures using my Instax printer.
The blank traveler’s journal I used has a kraft cover, which I stenciled the cactus and stars blending several colors of Distress Inks.
After the front cover dried, I started adding stencils to the inside pages as backgrounds for my photos and journaling. I chose stencils that I thought would match the photos & subjects of the pages.
I thought this 6×6 would make a good radiant abstract sun.
I mostly added the stencils to opposite corners, varying size to add a dynamic visual!
Besides the cactus stencil, I thought these succulents would be perfect and tried to add some depth with the inks.
I added a loose watercolor rectangle and then stenciled some of these flowers on top in contrasting colors.
I used a pink mist with the small stencil as a light background for my journaling on this page.
Finally for the last page, I layered the postmark piece of one stencil and the ‘correspondence’ text on top of a bookmark and sticker to compliment the photo and story I had for this page.
I tried to keep it simple, adding journaling to one side, and just a couple embellishments to each spread.
I used the stickers from the entry into Frank Lloyd Wright’s Talesin West to this page.
I added some pink colored pencil to the centers of the stenciled succulents.

I love this washi tape with the colors & ink of the flowers.
Although the colors and patterns are subtle in these pages, I think they add a nice texture and scale to compliment the other patterns I used.
This turned out to be one of my favorite pages with the ink bottle and feather; I loved the layered look it achieved.

I added some of the Gold Gesso under the cactus for a little shine and title block for my Thickers.
Thanks for stopping by the Blog today and I hope this inspires you to document a special trip or event in your life!
