Travel Journal Gift Set with Glitz Design

Good morning sweet friends!!  I am excited to share a little Travel Journal Gift Set made with Glitz Design Happy Travels goodies!!!  My daughter and a very good friend of mine took "vacations of a lifetime" this month and their travels gave me the idea of making a gift for traveling friends and relatives.

I embellished a kraft Moleskine Journal and added some envelopes for ephemera on the inside and added a card to complete the ensemble.

The card features stamped die cuts using the Glitz Design Happy Travels Clear Stamps, which I just love!!!

I masked the edges of the die cuts before I stamped to leave a nice clean border.  I added a rolled felt flower, lace, and cream seam binding to all the sweet little Glitz Happy Travels goodies.

Decorating Moleskine Journals is one of my all-time favorite gift ideas and making a travel journal is easy with Glitz Design goodies!!

I started with a Happy Travels paper layer and added a Happy Travels Titles Sticker and Rhinestone along with a Tim Holtz Ideology Word Key, some lace, ribbon and floral.  I machine stitched along the edge of the Paper Layer to add a finished look.

On the inside of the journal, I added some envelopes to hold ephemera and trinkets.  

To insert the envelopes in the journal, I cut a 3 x 8-1/4 inch piece of patterned paper.  I scored the paper every 3/4 inch and folded accordion-style along the score lines.

I glued the edges of the folded piece of paper to the inside cover and the inside page of the journal.  Then, I glued the envelopes to the folds as shown.

I embellished the rest of the journal with Happy Travels goodies to complete the project.

I look forward to giving this to someone before their next trip.  Who knows, maybe I'll give it to my daughters and we'll go on a trip together!!!
