Travel journal page

I have been doing a number of these journal pages lately, more to come.  I chose this image from Twistoon, in her monthly progressive challenge on FB to go into my continuing travel journal to Rutherglen, wonderful small country township in country Victoria, that we visited last year and went back again early March.

By the time we got home, the world and travel had changed, so she has become a symbol of our last trip, where we went and what we did traveling freely throughout the country side, these pages are in this year's bullet diary, so I have a written and drawn journey of 2020.

Bon Voyage has been coloured with copic pens and fussy cut, attached to a map page, with a little pull tab to open the map and show where and when we visited certain places.

The scribble (my hand writing) is about some of the things we encountered.

The Crafter's Cafe #238 - 15th March Animals

The theme at the Crafters Cafe this fortnight is Animals.

 The sponsors are:

 and

Eureka Stamps

https://www.stamponit.net/eureka-stamps

I've used an image from Eureka Stamps called "Lamb in Egg" and added a page to my bullet journal.  I'm working on different ways to add pages to my journals.  I really love this year's bullet journal and would like to get another for next year and use it as both my bullet journal and my junk 2021 journal. It would eliminate having two running together.

I have attached some drawing paper with washi tape to create a fold out page, this will allow me to use the dates in the journal and yet still have a bit of mixed media.   Then I have the option of using the other side of the drawing paper, or gluing it to the journal page once I have finished with those dates.  It is a good manageable size, so fingers crossed I work it out for next year.

The image has been coloured with copic pens and kindy glitz, fussy cut and adhered to silver paper (which I have a lot of) and washi tape.
