Thank you for taking the time to look, I hope you will try and create a journal for your summer trips! Use ephemera from your junk drawers and photo boxes for tags and page turns. Use an old book that is tattered and  missing a few pages for your cover or create a cover from cardboard or chipboard (sturdier), cover with papers, maps and whatever you have handy. You can use the O-wire binding method, ring binder clips, ribbons or rope. Let your imagination go and remember - there are no rules, no mistakes, just create!
