Inspired Journey Journal

Today I am sharing the journal that was created by the ever fabulous, Sande Krieger for the Inspired Journey Event I attended last week in Manhattan Beach.  I helped Sande in her classes so I was able to make one of the journals before the event so I would be familiar with the project.  Today's post is sort of a "blog hop".  After you see the basic journal here, use the links provided at the bottom of the post to see Sande's completed journal on her blog, Pandemonium.  Then you see her true talent shine.  I have never met anyone who can use plain ole letter stamps like she does...certainly not me.

This travel Journal is all about 7gypsies latest line Postal.  These are some of the products used:
Postal Alphabet
Postal Collection Sticker
97% Complete Sticker - Vagabond 
Postal Paper - Numero (black/tan stripe)
Ephemera - Vintage (used through out the book)
Journal cover - Elizabeth

Postal paper - Document (white arrow paper)

Note: I somehow came home without page 2 which should be showing in the this picture.  SO when you look at Sande's final journal with all the picture you will see a page that has a flip up that is tied with a black ribbon, that is my missing page.  sorry about that!

What you are seeing here is a plastic 4 x 6 photo sleeve. Sande covered the inside edge with a strip of paper then punched with the Binderie Punch to add to the book. 

The stickers were placed right on the plastic sleeve and even though you can see they are white on the back now, once you slide a picture into the photo sleeve the white will be covered up.

Love this idea of the punched Gypsy tags.  Sande added a number at the end of each tag set.  You will see in her book, she used each tag to stamp out a note about the picture that is added in between.

Postal paper - Numero (black/creme stripe)
Postal paper - This end up (on envelope flap)
Postal Clear Stamp - Par Avion (black arrows)

Each of the shaped pages through out the journal were made using the Photo Carousel cards...we clipped off the tabbed edges or added paper over them.

The back of this one was made into a pocket.

Another photo sleeve

Here we used two 6" Elastic bands to create a holding place for a Petit Carnet.  Clever girl, that Sande!

The last photo sleeve

The pennant is made from part of the Vagabond sticker, ephemera and a tag:vintage.  Held in place using mini paper clips and paper fasteners.

The text on the right side in from this rubbing: Nomenclature

So that's it, the basic journal that everyone made in class.  Now, hop on over to Sande's blog to see the real deal where she has added all her pictures and journaling in pure "Sande style".  It really is fabulous.

Here are the links:
Part One - The inside of the Petit Carnet and start of the journal.
Remember I am missing my page two. So there is an extra page that you will see in Sande's completed journal.

Part Two - Second part of the Journal

Part Three - Last part of the Journal

 Now off you go!

cheers!
