please make it a NEW project!
please post it to this thread by May 10th by 11:59pm CST
no combining please

im excited to see what ya'll do!!!!!

Hmmm...this may be a challenge but I've wanted to try the TN idea. Love your sample.

Nice - I love the TN format, especially when I'm feeling crafty but there's not enough time or brain power for a full layout. 

Here is a silly question. Is a travelers notebook a small notebook that you buy or make yourself?

My FIRST pocket page EVER! Enjoyed THIS very much!

yes.....
 

Good challenge!

Is doing a pocket page OK if we are traditionally just regular 12x12 scrappers?  While I have done maybe 2 or 3 pocket-like pages I have only done a single true pocket page despite having 100+ cards and 4 packs of pocket page protectors.

Great challenge Carrie. I'm starting a Covid mini book and finishing my Christmas journal.

Awesome challenge! 

I love documenting our trips in Life Crafted albums. Which are binders with page protectors in the travelers notebook sizes. I created this layout with some new travel stamps from Studio Calico!

Great challenge. I love working in a traveler's notebook. I did a spread in the family favorite recipe insert that I am doing.

Ohhh, I just started my 52 weeks project for 2021. Here is one of my boys standing in front of our snow bank. And yeah, I've got some catching up to do as it's now MAY?!?!

This was a great challenge, I have had this album sitting around with 2 pages to get completed, and the challenge made it happen.  I used a belly band on the first one,
when open it will hold 10 pics, the other is just a pocket to put photos or keepsakes in.


 

The layout is just the clock. I can't put it in a scrapbook but I will hang it in my scrap room.  The background is my outdoor tablecloth. 

Here is my entry for your challenge. Sorry but my tablet won't let me upload it directly here. It also wouldn't let me click and drag around the pictures I uploaded. So the last picture showing is actually the 2 page layouts in the album. It is part of a Vintage style album I'm making. It measures 6.75" X 6.75" and was part of an old Farmhouse alum kit. But I made lots of variations to it to make it interactive. I also am not using a lot of the papers. I used Graphic 45 and other items including ribbon, buttons, brands. The 2 pages I made for your challenge includes a flip pocket page off the left page side. I also made various sizes of tags for more journeling and pictures. There are also tuck spots for more tags or pictures. The pictures show the various tags, etc.
