Traveler's Notebook with 3 Booklets

I heard the idea for a traveler's notebook on a podcast while walking our dog and was intrigued.  I priced them on Etsy and quickly discovered that they were out of my price range since of course I would want one for Sis, Bubba, and myself!  Luckily, I found a wonderful tutorial on Youtube!

I also used her link to create booklets for the inside.  Like with any project I am fired-up to start I headed to Hobby Lobby to gather supplies with Sis as my assistant.  After much discussion, we selected covers, scrapbook paper and elastic cord that all coordinated.

Each screams personality!  Sis chose flowers with purple booklets inside.  For Bubba, we went with a camo theme of tan cover, RealTree camo inside and green booklets.  I love the cheery-ness mine provides with accents of bright yellows through out the cover, inside, and booklets.  Each turned out so well, I plan to pick up supplies to create one for my niece.

If you are looking for an easy, fun project to spice-up note taking, journal, or record keeping, give this a try.  As a bonus, I created 3 complete traveler's notebooks with 3 booklets inside each for the cost of one traveler's notebook (no booklets).
