Thirty-one helpful lessons I've learned, so you can have the perfect first (or tenth!) trip to Ireland.

I made this Traveler's Notebook as a gift for Frank Garcia using his Thirty-One collection with Prima! His current Halloween collection with Prima is called Twilight and it's equally BOOtiful! Here is a quick flip through of the album: I made this TN in a single afternoon before flying to California! It might look like it took days to make, but a few simple tricks and you've got a faBOOlous mini album ready to hold memories! I started by cutting down the patterned papers from the Thirty-One collection to 8x8" and smaller. The vellum cover I trimmed to 8.25" square and rounded the corners. There are quite a few cut-apart pages in Thirty-One so I trimmed some of those down and then scored between the cards. I also made a 7.5" round page. I scored all the pages in half, stacked them together, then machine stitched straight down the center 3 times with black thread. The pile of papers was very thick so I was nervous it wouldn't work but my sewing machine managed to stitch through all the layers like a charm! To make the spine more secure I wrapped washi tape around it. Next I stitched ribbons and trims onto the edges of all the pages. This is my favorite thing to do with mini albums the past few years. I just LOVE the texture, whimsy, and interest it adds! When stitching the trims I used black, white, and pink threads to match the colors of Thirty-One. To keep the album closed I tied a piece of elastic around and then knotted more ribbons & trims around it. The final touch is a spooktacular charm by Emily Inspired Designs clasped onto the knot. Time for embellishing! I used lots of bits & pieces from the Thirty-One collection and then added some things from my Halloween stash and my own Halloween goodies which you can find in MY SHOP. I left lots of space for Frank to add his own photos and journaling. I made interactive flip-ups by attaching cut-apart cards and die cuts with washi tape. For even more cuteness I slid charms onto paperclips and stapled them onto the page edges. Having all the different sizes and shapes of pages makes it so fun to flip through - you never know what the next page might bring! I used a 1" circle punch to notch the edges to help make opening these next couple flaps easier. The center-fold is a fun and interactive cut-apart page the I trimmed and scored to fit inside the parameters of a standard 4x8" traveler's notebook. I poured sequins into a 4x4 pocket page protector, trimmed it down to 3.5x4", stitched it closed, then attached it into the album with washi tape. Too cute to spook! More flip-ups and pull-outs! I signed the back :) And that's this TN in a nutshell! Let me know if you have any questions about this album - it was super quick & easy to make! Have a fang-tastic day!
