Club Scrap Adirondack Blog Hop and Linky Party

Hello Crafty Friends! Welcome to the Club Scrap Adirondack Blog Hop and Linky Party! If you've just come from Tricia's blog then you're in the right place!
This month's kit- Adirondacks has a masculine feel with papers and stamps with images of mountains, loons and wood.
I've lived in NY my whole life and been to the Adirondack mountains countless times. When I was a kid that's the only vacations we ever took- camping in the mountains every year...and I LOVED it! Still do! This kit brought me right back there. My sister and her family still camp a lot and I I decided to make her a Traveler's Notebook.

There's a great tutorial here on how to put the strings in to hold all the inserts. I found there's a lot of different ways to do it. I made my cover from the papers in the Adirondacks kit. I adhered 2 pieces on either side of a thin piece of chipboard with Club Scrap book binding glue-love that stuff! The deer charm on the front is from the kit and the beads are from my stash. I got a big roll of the elastic string at Joann Fabrics.

For the inside of the cover I used the stencil and unmounted rubber stamped images to decorate it.

I made 3 inserts for the notebook-A decorated journal, a calendar and a blank notebook.

I used the text weight kraft paper with the kit for the pages of the journal. I decorated with cut a parts and stamped images from the Adirondacks kit.

 

 I used a cream colored text weight paper for the blank notebook and the calendar. I printed the calendar pages on my computer.

Have a great day!
