Travel Journal

Today I am creating a travel journal. Once the basic journal design is made, it can be used to make any type of journal you would like. Some great ideas would be a grandma brag book, Mother's Day gift, thank you gift for a coach, etc. You get the idea. 

You will need:

• 3 sheets of coordinating 12" x 12" cardstock. 
• Permanent adhesive
• Stickers
• Photos
• Coordinating paper

To make the mini album:

1. Cut the 12" x 12" cardstock at 6", you will end up with six sheets of 12" x 6" cardstock. Choose one cardstock design to make into the album cover.
2. Trim 1/4" off of the remaining 12" x 6" sheets of cardstock so that you will now have five pieces of cardstock that measure 12" x 5-3/4".
3. Now trim one of the 12" x 5-3/4" sheets of cardstock that match the cover to 5" x 5-3/4".

You should now have cardstock pieces:

• One 12" x 6" (Cover base)
• Three 12" x 5-3/4" (Inside Pages)
• Two 5" x 5-3/4" (Cover extensions)

Score the 12" x 6" piece at 3" and 2-1/2" from each end of the cardstock.

Score the three 12" x 5-3/4" pieces at 3" from each end.

Using permanent adhesive, adhere the 3 scored and folded pieces of the inside pages (12" x 5-3/4") so that it will look like the photo below.

Here is a short video of the completed journal ready for photos and decorations
