{travel} journal | my hometown

So far I've shared the travel journal pages I've created for Val HERE, and Renee HERE, but hadn't shown the book I created yet. My theme is *your hometown* with the idea being that I wanted to document things to remember about San Diego before moving to Seattle. Here are the prompts I came up with.....

1. Scrap a photo of yourself with your name:

For each prompt, I created a custom page protector (using my paper cutter and sewing machine) to hold a thin strip of paper with the prompt text on the front and the order number on the back. The base of each page is plain white paper. I wanted all the inserts to really pop! Here's an example.....

2. Add in a postcard from your hometown and write a list of places you go for running errands around town on the back:

3. Add in a take-out menu from one of your favorite restaurants and scrap around a favorite dish (I really miss Chronic Tacos right now.....soooo good!) :

4. Scrap on top of a photo of a favorite relaxing spot:

5. Add a piece of map from your hometown inside one of the pockets, throw in some homemade confetti, and machine or hand stitch shut:

 

6. Scrap your favorite *just for fun* places around town for each season:

7. Use a heart on your page and list at least five things *i want to remember* about where you live:

8. Embroider the name of your hometown:

9. Scrap a photo of a silhouette at sunset with the time and date:

10. Scrap a piece of the earth from your hometown:

A big thank you to Marlene, Val and Renee for asking me to join in on this project! I now have my travel journal returned to me filled with all their lovely pages and it's a treasure. <3 Carrie
