For today’s blog hop, I made a set of FIVE travel journals! I just could not stop using kraft-tex!
Each journal was super easy and fun to make!
To create each, I folded six 6” x 12” sheets of scrapbook paper in half and nested them together.

Then I folded a piece of 7” x 13” Kraft-tex in half for each journal’s cover.
I placed the signature of pages into each cover and bound these with a simple 5-hole pamphlet stitch,
sewn with waxed linen thread.

For the cover below, I used kraft-tex Natural. With a sponge dauber I pounced StazOn Midi in Ganache through my Latitude and Longitude stencil. Then I painted around these stencils images with PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic in Bora Bora. I really love the way the PaperArtsy paints integrate with the kraft-tex surface.
Then I used Jet Black Ranger Archival ink pad and fingertip sponge dauber to add words from Let’s Go 1 and Let’s Go 2. After removing the stencils, I connected the bridges of the letters with my Sakura black Identi-Pen.

For the next cover, I used kraft-tex Pre-Washed Turquoise. With a sponge dauber, I pounced StazOn Midi in Midnight Blue through Latitude and Longitude Large, then painted around the image with Bora Bora again.
This next cover consists of another piece of 7” x 13” kraft-tex Pre-Washed Turquoise folded in half.
On this cover, I used Aleene's Original Tacky Glue to adhere a square of kraft-tex Black.
With more Aleene's I layered three small squares of kraft-tex Natural on top of the black
and stenciled on the travel icons from Let’s Go 2 with Ganache.

My fourth cover is another collage: of It’s a Small World Latitude in Ganache on Natural, Just Plane Fun in white acrylic on kraft-tex Black, and two wooden buttons with an image of a globe and compass.
These elements were adhered with Aileen’s onto another Turquoise cover.

This last cover combines acrylic, ink, and collage. For this cover, I folded a piece of 7” x 13” kraft-tex Black in half. I pounced white acrylic through String stencil onto it. When this dried, I pounced Hero Arts Neon Pink Ink through this same stencil. I stenciled an image from Just Plane Fun using white acrylic on another piece of
kraft-tex Black. I stenciled the globe from Let’s Go 2 onto kraft-tex Natural with Ganache.
Afterwards I cut out both these images and collaged them onto the cover with Aleene's.
