Made with the Gorgeous Collection Time Traveller a travel journal created from scratch I designed the pages in typical journal signature style. This journal has 6 signatures that have been created using Cardstock, pattern paper and parchment paper. I also used the Ephemera and the ATC's to add interest to the numerous pockets and envelopes of this journal.
The idea was to create a Scrapbook and Journal hybrid that has places for photos and lots of room for writing as well as tons of tuck spaces for tickets , memorabilia and pretty much anything one wants to save from their trip bill, maps, etc
The cover looks like a a vintage book and all the metal embellishments are high quality products for added effect. The spine contains a lovely latch and a few charms.

Hello there, crafty friends!
I have a quick project share for you--and again, it is Kaisercraft! This is my
second guest DT project for Artsomecraft.com. If you have not checked out
Ashmita's beautiful craft supply store yet, I absolutely recommend you
do!
I used a 12x12 paper pack and sticker sheet for this album (and again, used
very few embellishments from outside the pack.) and I still have four full
sheets left! Well, you may accuse me of being stingy with them but I promise I
am holding on to a few of these papers because I plan to come back with more
project ideas with these! OK that's enough about my frugality with pattern
paper (especially Kaisercraft)...on to today's project.
Why Lake House? Well, it's the monsoons here in India--I've always associated
the rains and gray skies with romantic melancholy, and the weather got me in
the mood for a romantic album. This collection reminded me of overgrown gardens
and desolate mansions (straight out of a Gothic romance) and seemed perfect for
the season! I can use it for couple pictures, maybe! Hah!
If you have been following my blog/FB page you must have noticed vertical
albums aren't my thing--I am not a fan because of multiple reasons: I prefer
square and landscape albums design-wise, I find these large vertical albums
exhausting to sustain creativity for, and the usual 12 sheets of pattern paper
that you get in exclusive designer paper packs are not enough for most vertical
albums.
I still went with these dimensions because of this one thing--the floral
fountain sticker! OMG, I am still in love with it! Isn't it gorgeous! There was
not way I was going to cut that up!
The album cover measures 6x8 inches and the pages are 5x7 inches.
That's a Tim Holtz book
plate on the spine--I've stayed away from a charm dangle because I did not want
the focus to shift from the shadow box lookalike front cover...which I had been
planning ever since I saw the fountain sticker! Now, it's a different story
that after putting it together and sealing it up I thought of a number of other
ways of making/decorating the cover :/
Isn't this pattern gorgeous? I loved it!
Here are a few pictures of the pages--there are two page styles,
alternated.
For the multiple-pocket-flap page, I have followed a tutorial by Super Happy
Scrapper on YouTube. You can view it here.
I have left the inner flaps bare as of now because I am not sure what size the
photo mats should be--it'll depend on which pics I plan to use finally :D Also
because this paper is so pretty!
I used a Couture Creations Intricutz Die for the borders here--I did not want
to adhere them down but they seemed too flimsy to be used as pockets.
The borders are from the sticker sheet. I made the flowers using a Sizzix
flower and leaf die and Tim Holtz Tattered Florals dies (I used the two smaller
petals only). Ah! the joy of a new tool/die!
This is the FIRST time that I left the inside covers of an album bare! I wanted
this to be a clean and simple album because the cover can seem little over the
top! ;)
Thank you so much for stopping by today--let me know how you liked my project.
I should have the video flip-through up soon! Watch this space :)
