I’m a librarian and love books in every form. These ones are made from matchboxes. Once started I wasn’t able to stop making them. They are perfect to give notes, coins, vouchers or any other little somethings and can be adapted to many occasions.
The lazy days of summer are just about over, so I thought a shaker card with real sand from Clearwater Beach, Florida might be a fun card to send someone in the north, to remind them of their vacation memories.
We all love traveling, and I for one would never be home if traveling was free - as the saying goes! See how to make a travel journal project.
Journaling is definitely trending at the moment and there are no right and wrong way to do it - it is a very personal thing. I needed something to keep my travel memories in and found this fabulous journal on sale because the front cover was damaged - not a problem for me - as you can see by my Tutorial.
Enjoy the journey as much as the destination and record every memory made along the way in this fun, easy collage style travel journal.
Remember the days when we drove around with Thomas Guides in our cars? Big books of maps that not only helped you navigate the area but you had to learn how to navigate the book! Today the maps are likely outdated but quite useful for all sorts of projects.
Summer usually signals a break in our normal routines, be it a long vacation stay or perhaps just a few interesting day trips here and there. Either way it is an opportunity for us to make some memories and preserve them in a handmade travel journal.
Cathy Andronicou shows you how to keep your travel memories on you at all times with this Parisian Key Fob.
We don’t have a name for “Tacky Tourists” in Germany. But it’s a really good and funny description for these kind of travelers and I think, we should have a German word for them. For this card I created a new road sign. A couple of years ago, my BFF Dagmar and I visited the Gizeh Pyramides at Kairo, Agypt.
Isn't it funny all of the little bits and pieces you collect on a road trip...everything from bottle caps, sea shells collected on the beach, sand saved in tiny bottles to the tacky tourist offerings like plastic hula dolls, pink rubber flamingos and the ever popular key chains. Well this kitschy shadow box is just the ticket to save all those funky bits in one place.
