When we began camping in 2008, I used a camping journal. It was a composition notebook from a dollar store. I decorated the cover with scrapbook paper and stamps. That’s as close to a travellers journal as I’ve done. Loved you introduction to the journals.
I love all the information on travelers journals you provided in this video. I really didn’t understand what they were all about. I love all the many different ideas on how to use them. I’m excited to play with them. My journey had been kind of the opposite of yours. I started with scrapbooking 25 years ago and then got into card making. I need to finish up my daughter’s college scrapbooks and then move on to engagement and wedding with the snapshot photos. Now 18 years after their marriage (May 30) I finally have a granddaughter to make scrapbook pages of. My daughter and her husband fostered to adopt an infant girl. My sweet granddaughter just tuned two years old a month ago. We are so blessed. I guess my point being is that the lull of photos between the wedding and the addition of our miracle baby is when I was busy with card making. Anyway, thank you so much for introducing me to the travel journal. ♥️♥️♥️
Wow, I was so intrigued from beginning to end of this video. My favorite was the last, more project driven, then the precious photo memories. I'm exploring TNs and love that stencil collection.
I haven't used a Travelers Notebook yet but am wanting lots of info. You gave some great ideas and I will be watching for more of your ideas. Thank you for such a great video!
Wow, this is so great ideal . Thank you for sharing. Never done travelers notebook. You have beautiful family. Yes I would love to see more. Thank you Lisa
Thank you for all the info on TN. I love your use for them especially for memory keeping since I love scrapbooking. You have inspired me even more! Btw, my youngest brother went to UF many many years ago. We grew up in Jax., FL. Heading there now to spend time with my parents. May God guide you and your son to the right college for him. I know it’s not an easy task. 🥰💝
You're welcome, Diana. Glad you liked the video. It's definitely a small world. UF is in my son's top three colleges. I agree...most certainly not an easy decision. Enjoy your time with your parents and thank you for the kind words.
🤦🏻♀️ now I’m gonna go crazy on travelers notebooks! $$$! 🤣. Seriously, this would be a good idea for my daughter to use for journaling my granddaughters Crohn’s journey. She was diagnosed at age 5(!!) and is now 7. The amount of appointments, infusions, tests, meds, etc that she needs to keep track of is mind boggling. This would be a great tool for her! Thank you!!! We can at least make it fun for her!
Thanks for the super great explanation of travelers notebooks. I hope your daughter knows how to tell snapping turtles from other kinds. Maybe you don't have snappers in FL? That would have been a whole different ugly memory. I've not used them, don't expect to, but I'd watch pretty much anything you post because you really do make me think I can do "it" too.
Some really great ideas Lisa. I just use plain ol notebooks or calendar/planners, not anymore. These look great, need a TSOL one. Can't wait for you to show more! GREAT video!
Lisa, I was so excited when I saw this video! I’ve used Traveler’s Notebooks for a long time. I like them more than doing scrapbook pages because of just what you said...too much planning and overwhelming. So TNs work great for me. (Also, smashbooks.). Would love to see more TN videos from you! Oddly enough I do use mine mostly to document our trips. My husband and I used to travel a lot pre-COVID. Now that we have our vaccines we are ready to travel to Florida again in June!!!
I’ve been using TN’s for years - love them! Cahier size is sometimes referred to as Standard Wide, too. It is my favorite size for memory keeping/journaling. TN’s make good art journals if you use the type with heavier paper so it absorbs the water. Hope you do more videos, Lisa. 😊 Thanks for sharing!
thank you for this! i have thought about doing a travelers notebook for my mother. she has been journaling a lot since my father passed 5 years ago. this would give her a place to write her thoughts and activities and have pretty things to muse over while she’s writing. thank you! on another note, copic has a free app to keep track of your markers. my phone goes everywhere i go so i always have my list with me!
Love ❤️ these. Such a great idea to make for Christmas gifts for my family this year. I believe I have directions on how to make them out of card stock and card board from cereal boxes.
Thank you Lisa for this video. I didn’t know what travelers notebooks were and you gave so many great examples. Looking forward to your video using The Stamps Of Life for the travelers notebook. 😊
Wow!!! Lisa thank you for such thorough explanation of what a travelers notebook is..... I like the way you use yours.... I’ve been using the happy planner for years but I’m really going to give this a try.....Waiting for your tutorial using by the stamps of life ❤️😊
Hey Lisa they say "it's better to as for forgiveness than than ask for permission" LOL. Your story about your husband and son's haircut was so cute. Thank you for all this info. I would not have thought about memory keeping because like you that 12x12 sheet is a little intimidating. This would be perfect. Could I ask what you use to get your small pictures? Please continue to show what your doing and what your using in your Travels notebook. You have a lovely family. TFS
Thank you Deb. I use the Pic Collage app on my iPhone to get the smaller size pics. I set up a collage photo which is 4x6 in size. This allows me to include multiple images to fit on a 4x6. I print my pics at Walgreens. There are several other apps out there that can also print smaller sizes. Just search for “picture collage” and several will come up.
Hi, one of my sisters has been struggling with lack of oxygen getting to her brain due to severe blockages. This will be a great idea for her too. I will add you to my prayers. Have a blessed day!
I have been using travelers notebooks for devotionals. I answer questions, write scripture references, notes and decorate to go with the devotional. You can put it all in one notebook!
Hi Nehha. That really depends on how thick you make your inserts. The more pages you have in each insert, the more stuff you add to the pages, the thicker the inserts become. I have some with 3, 4, and even 5 inserts so it's really up to you.

A miracle baby for sure! You and your family are so blessed. Enjoy every minute. As you know, they grow so fast.
Never heard of travelers notebooks, now I’m interested and excited to purchase my first one and play! Thanks Lisa!!!
I had no idea what they were! These are adorable!!
I have a gardening journal. Excited to decorate with gardening emphemeral!!
Awesome! Echo Park recently released a beautiful collection called Flower Garden which would look so pretty in a TN.
Wow, I was so intrigued from beginning to end of this video. My favorite was the last, more project driven, then the precious photo memories. I'm exploring TNs and love that stencil collection.

Yes, also adding pictures of her along the way with her various appointments, etc.. That is a great idea Lisa

We do have snapping turtles in Florida, but it wasn't one. Thank goodness!

Great ideas Lisa! Can’t wait to see the one with TSOL products!

Beautiful family too. Your daughter looks just like you.
Thank you Chrystal
@@LisaMearsDesigns You are very welcome 😀

I use my travelers notebook for memory keeping also. Love yours and would love to see more!
Very cool. I've never made one but now I want to!

@@LisaMearsDesigns thank you so much for your help.
This would be something I could use. Have had brain surgery and have issues with memory, so I need write notes for myself.

Love your explain8g it all, where did you find the copic swatch notebook, I really like the size, TFS.
Hi Christine. I stamped out the swatch chart using a stamp from Waffle Flower. I purchased it on Amazon. Here's a link - amzn.to/3aDxGP5
Great overview of uses for traveler’s notebooks! BUT oh - my - word, I would NEVER carry a list of my passwords out of my house. 😬
Thank you. That password list stays home.😊
I have been using travelers notebooks for devotionals. I answer questions, write scripture references, notes and decorate to go with the devotional. You can put it all in one notebook!
I love this!
Thanks Jennifer
I junk journal and alter books. I use TSOL dies to make decorations for pages.
Yes!!! More More More
I'm just getting started with TNs, and you've given me so many great ideas to try! What kind of glue/adhesive do you use in your mini scrapbook?
Here are two glues that I use:
Art Glitter Glue amzn.to/2ZGaiKp
Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue shrsl.com/3ierb
@@LisaMearsDesigns Thank you so much!
@@PearlGirl920 You are welcome
I would love more information
Bonjour ou peu ton trouver les carnets ? En tout cas sympa comme idée
How did you make your swatch pages?
Hi Crystal. I used a swatch stamp from Waffle Flower. Here is a link -- amzn.to/3ujW5As
@@LisaMearsDesigns thank you!
How many insert can it hold
Hi Nehha. That really depends on how thick you make your inserts. The more pages you have in each insert, the more stuff you add to the pages, the thicker the inserts become. I have some with 3, 4, and even 5 inserts so it's really up to you.
isn't this like a planner?
It can certainly be used for a planner among other things.
