my italy travel journal in my wp color crush tn setup + kit

April 14, 2016

IMG_9751

So, I’m heading off to Italy at the ending of May and as usual, will be documenting my trip on the go. As I finished up my Southeast Asia journal, I also prepped my Italy journal, which I’ve housed in my brand new Websters Pages Color Crush Traveler’s Notebook that I love so much! Seriously, I wasn’t expecting to like this traveler’s notebook (only cause I don’t like their ringed binders of the same name) but man are these some really gorgeous traveler’s notebooks! I don’t regret my purchase whatsoever!

Anyway, I made some lovely inserts to go into this notebook. I made them a bit wider than the standard sized traveler’s notebook inserts, because I just like this A5-ish size better. I made my inserts using 90 lbs watercolor paper for the cover and 70 lbs drawing paper for the inside papers, which I put through my printer and printed a light gray grid on (cause I prefer grid paper). I only made three inserts, which I’m hoping will be enough for my 6-week trip.

I’m gonna try and document my trip a little differently this time. I was greatly inspired by Caylee Grey and her lovely travelogues and minibooks, that I wanted to try a more minimalist approach to this travel journal and use up all my pretty scrapbook things I’ve just been hoarding in my stash. Not going to lie, I think I made my kit way to big, but you should see how it all fits in my little travel organizer! I normally document my travels in a junk journal/smashbook sort of way, but for this one I wanted to come out looking like a legit minibook. As shallow as it may sound, I want it too look really pretty and clean.



As for my massive kit, here it is. It looks like a lot of stuff–and it is–but I managed to stuff most of it into a snack-sized Ziploc bag. I’ve already incorporated some of the papers into my journal, as you’ll see in the setup video I have down below, so there’s not much in my pouch. I’m still debating if I want to take certain things with me, but for now, I wanted to share everything that I’ve set aside to take for making this journal on the go. Even if I do ween some items out of my kit, I just wanted to give you an overview of everything I’m considering. I’d be super surprised if everything pictured ended up in my journal! I didn’t take a photo of my pouch organizer or the various tools I have in it, like my watercolor palette, compact scissors or mini stamp pads. But please check out my setup video for an overview of everything if you’re interested in how I set up my Color Crush Traveler’s Notebook and travel scrapbook kit.

Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
I've been enjoying following along with the @getme I've been enjoying following along with the @getmessyartjournal #getmessymay prompts. I've basically been just watching them as they are posted. But the other night, I attempted the Happy prompt and it literally has gotten back into simply playing around with my supplies. I pulled out this very old Seasons of Bloom journal that is SO CLOSE to being finished. I figure I'd channel all of this creative energy I have right now to finishing it up!

I'm not responding to any particular prompt, just using the processes and techniques shared to finally complete this journal. xx
