Memorial Day kicks off the beginning of Summer in the Midwest. Swimming pools are open for enjoyment and I hear lawnmowers in the distance. Summer also means time to hit the road with the family and TRAVEL!
Momenta makes so many wonderful craft products that you can find at your local craft store like Hobby Lobby, Joann, and Michael's. I recently discovered their EXPLORER planner system of covers and inserts. You can customize your own albums for doodling, planning, or setting goals.
I customized my book to record the details of camping trips this summer. I plan to document dates, campsites, meals and even expenses to help me plan for future trips. The Inserts are books of paper sewn together (they're not a pad - think composition book style) available in lined, graph, and calendar print. There are several different glitter album covers as well as folders to keep receipts or other ephemera from your trip
I started by distressing the cover of the Graph Explorer Insert with distress ink and some gold pigment paint. I inked the edges, splattered, and made some faux coffee rings dipping a cup into some watery ink. 
I decorated the Insert with Mixed Media Adventure Stickers. The sticker sheet has stickers made from weed veneer, chipboard, cork, and even foil accents.
I love the images that include a campsite sign, campfire, pine tree and even a little bear!
I know this book will be a treat to write in every time I reach for it!

Our family vacations when I was a child were camping vacations! This darling scene brings back so many wonderful memories....minus the bear ;) Thanks for the smiles Jeanne!
I have travel journals made up for every trip that we took with the kids when they were younger but I've never gotten around to making a book for them like this so you definitely have me motivated now this is so fabulous!
