Back with a new journal titled "Around the World". I'm excited to share this with you because of the wonderfully colored, rich papers by Stamperia from their "Around the World" collection. This company has truly won me over. The papers are thick, the collections are fun, plus they feel and smell good. It's like being a book reader; the smells and feel are all about the experience of the book. This journal is listed in my Etsy shop here. Okay, here we go Around The World...
This travel journal has 61 pages which include a combination of vintage onion skin, ruled writing, drawing, vintage linen, and watercolor papers, on which you may journal, sketch, draw, paint, and glue.
"Around the World" Cover
Created from a. 5.5" X 8.25" 1950's Child Reader called "Our Happy Ways". The cover is embellished with a...

This journal has 4 dividers which are also full page pockets with top openings, embellished with more pockets created from premium scrapbook papers to hold all those photos, lists, notes, and memorabilia safely.

Each facing page after each divider is a vintage onion skin paper page and each divider has a metal, twill, or velvet page turn.

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 opening in the middle.
