Hi there everyone, thanks for peeking in. I won't waste any time with chit chat- grab some coffee and away we go! This newest travel journal, "Longer Trails", has 65 pages with a combination of vintage legal ruled writing, vintage linen, sketch, and water color papers on which you may journal, sketch, draw, paint, and glue.
I have designed 4 double-sided pocket dividers using premium double-sided card-stock papers from Tim Holtz's "Destination" Collection, embellished with pockets (each divider is a full page pocket with top opening), hand stitching, clips, double-sided tags, metal, leather, and cotton twill page turn tabs, tea-dyed seam binding ribbons, paper lace, brads, clips and fasteners, lined coin envelope pockets, and a trinket cluster. Each page of this journal is hand inked, stamped, and bound with sturdy O-Wire between covers which were created from a 1945 children's school reader called "On Longer Trails". Also included are a vintage 1930's bingo card double-sided pocket page and a vintage Quizmo music game card with 10 pages of sketch paper attached.

Original Title Page
Divider 1
Name/date page
This journal has 4 dividers which are also full page pockets with top openings, embellished with more pockets to hold all those photos, lists, postcards, stamps, notes, and memorabilia from trips or even from your daily life.
Divider 1 Backside
With 3 side pockets with one paper lace and a top pocket with a tag tucked in
Each divider in this journal has a vellum facing page and a metal, leather, or twill page turn tab. Each page is hand-inked and stamped, and each tag is double-sided with space for extra journaling or photos.
Divider 2
The correspondence page
Instead of a full page pocket, this page is divided in two with a half circle cut opening on top and a mail slit in the middle. It is embellished with 2 top/side opening pockets- one is hand stitched with tea-dyed string and the other is a wee travel envelope which opens for extra goodies to tuck into. This page has 7 tags slipped in the pockets- 2 with vintage tea-dyed seam binding ribbon pulls, and 1 tag attached to the envelope with a tiny paper clip.
This page is ready to keep those stamps, addresses, postcards and other mailing items for your trip all together in one place. You could clip a pen on the page or on the cover to always have handy.
