Before we left for Oregon, I pulled out an Amy Tangerine Sketchbook to use as a travel journal. I decorated the cover, but didn't do much else since the pages are already designed for you to some extent. One thing I've learned after two attempts to scrap as I travel: I don't. It helps to have it ready when I get home, but there's no point in taking it with me.
I found the sketchbook a bit difficult to work with. Some of the pages are so small, and I wasn't sure what to do about the photographs. Then I found a digital template by Jennifer Wilson that had 12 Polaroid-type frames. They worked perfectly. I also found I had to work both from the front and from the back to be sure I had everything laid out in chronological order. Editing and printing the photos took the better part of my creative time on Day 7. I don't think the photos need much explanation so here's a photo-heavy post of most of the project.
This is the front cover, and the inside of the back cover. I made a pocket to hold the postcards I purchased.
In the end, I was pleased with the project. I have another slightly larger sketchbook of the same design which I will use, but I probably wouldn't purchase another one.
