I had this pack of slightly used papers that
I won from Brenda many years ago
and always felt it was too nice to open.
I eventually did make a few cards and a
mini album but still had lots left so
decided to make a Traveller's Notebook.
This is the back view.
I did lots of sewing on this TNB and I
do like the effect as well as the
fact it makes it much sturdier.
This is a view of the spine.
I was going to use an elastic closure
but changed my mind and filled the
hole with a brad.
You can watch a quick video walkthrough here.

Must be showing my age as honestly don't remember that paper but it is rather lovely and you have used for such a lovely notebook.

Me again, just saw mention of babysitting, a task I had yesterday with Margo four and a half. She must have gone through half a ream of paper and then found my water brush, total fascination, not to mention the chatter - asked me how the chicks got in the eggs which are just hatching - ask you Mum!!
