Washi tape is used A LOT in scrapbooking and journaling not only to hold things down (like photos or scrapbook paper), but also to add more depth, layering, and interest. However, I was seventeen and didn’t have a job so I used what I already had. The washi tape I used isn’t my favorite and at the time, it wouldn’t have been my first choice. They also allow you to store multiple items/pieces of paper rather than gluing the items to the journal paper (which takes up more space). Pockets are another way to add interest to the spread. Note: Let the glue dry before adding the contents that go inside to prevent them from sticking as well. This pocket was made by cutting a piece of paper to size and then gluing the edges (sides and bottom) to the journal paper. The more you save, the better! Using a pocketĪnother trick I implemented in this spread was the use of a pocket. Adding those little items adds interest to your journal. Save postcards, tickets, passes, wristbands, contact cards, etc. When making your own travel journal, it’s important to save as many “tokens” as you can. I saved my plane tickets, passes, and other vouchers in a way to preserve the memories of the trip. The first thing I want to point on this spread is the act of saving tickets and boarding passes. Again, if you want to view the full flip-through, definitely check out my video on YouTube. However, this spread is the first in my journal that I wanted to share on the blog. There is a title page as well as a spread that comes before this one.
