Traveler's Notebook - Small Things, Great Love | Jodie King

Hi friends!  It's Jodie with you today sharing my last project made with the beautiful February 2019 Traveler's Notebook kit that features Cocoa Vanilla Studio Midnight and Pink Fresh Studio Indigo Hills 2 collections.

There's a fabulous painterly floral patterned paper in the 6x8 paper this month, and I've fussy cut the entire page so that I have a bunch of flowers (pardon the pun ha!) to play with.  Essentially I keep the fussy cut floral elements to the left, and have a cleaner style for the right page.  Having two pages to a TN spread makes it easy to separate styles out if that's something you want to try.

To create the XOXO on my photo, I recoloured the blue alpha in the kit using the rose gold American Crafts marker, also from the kit this month.  I coloured the letters while they were still in the alpha packaging, and once dry, adhered them to some plain white cardstock, overlapping each letter just a little.  Then I fussy cut around the letters, leaving a white border, and adhered the phrase sticker over the top.

The right page was dedicated mostly to journaling with a couple of elements at the top and bottom of the page.  I fussy cut the wreath from the cut apart paper in the paper pad and layered an Indigo Hills 2 sticker over it, popped up on foam tape.

Of course I couldn't finish a spread without some stitching, and used a pale peach embroidery thread to visually reinforce the border around my journalling.  A few navy blue watercolour splatters and I called this one done.

There are only a couple of the February Traveler's Notebook kits left in the shop, and if you've been thinking about grabbing one, I can definitely recommend them!

Thanks for stopping by today!
