Cathi's August Traveler's Notebook Layout and Planner Pages with the Amora Kit

Hello scrappy friends! It's me, Cathi, back again. This week I wanted to do a layout, but I just don't do full size 12x12 layouts anymore (4 big storage boxes of 3-dimensional layouts that don't fit in albums kinda burned me out!).  I love being able to add a layout or two each month in my A5 traveler's notebook though and have learned to use flatter less dimensional things to make my layouts. I've also added some bonus planner pages to this blog post of my August notebook decor using the Amora kit. I hope you enjoy!!

The base of my two-page traveler's notebook spread is the gorgeous wood grain Bright & Beautiful paper from the Cocoa Vanilla Happiness collection found in the main Scrapbooking Kit (TSK).

This first closeup of the left side of my spread I have used one of the polaroid cut-outs from the Pretty Little Kit (PLK). The 3 x 5 paper layers are also part of the Project Life cards in the PLK.  I added the heart ephemera from the TSK and the cardstock stickers from the PLK.

In this photo you can see the ephemera pieces from the TSK and the cardstock stickers from the PLK.

In the final closeup for the layout you can see all the layers I used, ephemera flowers and leaves, lovely word and Happy Snaps flair all from the TSK.



I had to use more of the kit to decorate my August notebook. I used stickers from the Planner Babe box along with lots of ephmera pieces from the TSK. The black clip is also from the Planner Babe box.  I love the colors in this kit and how the planner stickers work with the Cocoa Vanilla Happiness collection.

I always have a habit tracker page and a goals page and I used the clear stickers from the PLK.

Finally, I alway love a fun inspirational layout at the start of my daily journals so I used a cut out from the PLK. Some scraps of paper from the TSK, and the beautiful die cut flowers from the Bits & Pieces Kit (BPK).

I love working with the kits in my planner, both for planner pages and layouts!!  I hope you enjoyed the planner projects and will consider subscribing. You can find the subscriptions HERE.  Hope to see you back soon!!

Amora Kit: June and July in my Travelers Notebook by Cathi

Hello scrappy friends! It's me, Cathi, back again.  The gorgeous Amora kit has landed in Ireland and I am so excited to get designing with it!!!  Of course one of the first things I love to do is to use the Planner Babe Box and all the other kits to decorate my traveler's notebook!!  I use an A5 leather traveler's notebook for my planning and journaling and I have used the gorgeous diamante initial that came with my kit to personalize my cover!

For the inside of my traveler's notebook, I bought several notebook covers to act as dashboards for my notebooks, as well as pen holders!!  I love to decorate a cover for each month, and here you can see one of my notebook covers and a peek at the folder I made to hold my stickers in the notebook.  The gorgeous pen from the Planner kit is in one of my pen holders as well.

For my first in-depth project, I made a folder to stash all my stickers in. I always love to take a full sheet of paper from the main Scrapbooking Kit (TSK) and fold it into my A5 folder. For this month I took the beautiful Meadow paper from the Cocoa Vanilla Happiness collection found in the TSK.  From the Pretty Little Kit (PLK) I used the Hello Beautiful cutout from the Little Bits paper. I layered it on a piece of paper from the PLK in the 4x6 size underneath.  The gorgeous paper flowers came from the Bits and Pieces Kit (BPK), the Good Vibes flair and the tassle die cut came from the TSK.

Here is a look at the inside of the folder with my stickers I used.

Here are the two covers I did for my notebooks. For the June cover I used the Expressive paper for the base from the TSK. The doily is from the BPK and the cutout journal card is from the PLK.  I used some puffy hearts from the last kit as well as the alphas.  The butterfly is a cardstock sticker from TSK as well as the heart banner ephemera.  The June cover uses the stunning Botanical Bliss paper from the TSK.  I used a polaroid frame cutout from the PLK and layered it with a 4x6 from that kit underneath.  The ephemera ticket and plant are from the TSK as well as the butterfly sticker. The pink rhinestones come from the BPK.

I love to use the kits inside my notebook pages as well, so here is my monthly June calendar. I used a punched edging from the Planner Babe kit.  The flowers and butterflies are ephemera from the TSK.  The blue rhinestones are from the TSK as well!

After my calendar I always do habit trackers and goals and I love using the clear stickers in the PLK for these!!

I like to do an inspirational page before I start my journaling. I used some 4x6 papers and cutouts from the PLK, along with a few clear stickers on my journal page.

For July I have used some ephemera from both the Planner Babe Kit and the TSK.  I also used some stickers from the Planner Babe Kit.

My Habit Tracker and Goals page use the gorgeous clear stickers from the PLK.

My final project is my inspiration page for July using ephermera from the TSK, papers and cutout from the PLK and the butterfly is a fussy cut butterfly from the TSK Bright and Beautiful paper.

I love using my kits in my planner.  I hope you enjoyed the projects and will consider subscribing. You can find the subscriptions HERE. I've got more cards coming up! Hope to see you back soon!!
