Traveler's Notebook - Branson 2016 (Part 1)

Hello everyone. Today is day 1 of my Traveler's Notebook mini series of my trip to Branson last year. This will be a 6 part mini series where I will post the videos over about a 2-week period.

For the first day, I discuss a bit about the supplies I use on my YouTube channel.

The notebook I am using measures 8.25" x 5" and is from Piccadilly (bought at Barnes and Noble book store). The notebook looks like this and it came in a pack of 3.

Many of the pages I will prep before my trip with mixed media so I don't have to worry about the mess when I am adding things to the pages in the car or at the hotel.

For this trip I used by Polaroid Zip printer to print all of the photos. I ended up doing this at home this time, but typically I take the printer with me so I can print photos on the road.

Here is a few pictures of the first page. I used some acrylic stamps for the title. If you have trouble getting a crisp image with inexpensive acrylic stamps, try using versa mark ink before you put on your colored ink. The versa mark ink helps quite a bit.

I fussy cut some of the flowers out of the patterned paper (paper pad from DCWV - The Green Stack). I also used my boarder punch to add a bit of something to the left side of the page.
