"Journey" a StoryBook Travel Journal

So, this is my last completed journal that I have newly listed in my Etsy shop. I've been busy listing a few other things as well and it feels good to get caught up finally. 

Here it is without anymore ado...

          

                                "Journey" Cover

This 5.5" X 8" StoryBook travel journal "Journey" has 55+ pages which include a combination of vintage Four Star onion skin, lined writing, vintage linen, sketch, and watercolor papers, on which you may journal, sketch, draw, paint, and glue. 

                          

                                   Trinket Cluster

This travel cluster is attached to the journal's name tag with vintage tea dyed seam binding then tied to the sturdy O-Wire binding.

          

                                       Original Title Page

Each page of this journal is hand inked, stamped and bound between covers which were created from a 1941 Children's Reader called "If I Were Going".

          

                                                  Divider 1

Name and Date page. 

I have designed 4 double-sided pocket dividers using premium double sided card stock papers from the Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Travel Collection "Destinations", embellished with pockets,  clips, double-sided tags printed with vintage images, leather and fabric, metal page turn tabs, vintage tea dyed seam binding ribbon, small vintage-like Par Avion envelope, tiny tags, paper lace, buttons, coin envelopes,a vintage 1930's lotto card, 12 removable double-sided tags.

Each divider is also a full page pocket with top opening with lots of room for storing those secret or special items that don't fit or that you don't want everyone to see on the pages. 

          

                                         Divider 1 Backside

There is a map tag tucked in the side opening pocket and 3 smaller tags slipped in the strip pocket.
