Life is a Picnic Travel Journal

🌼 Is it summer yet?

Yes, we are in the deepest part of winter here in northern Wisconsin, but I'm dreaming of our first picnic!🍉🌞 I decided I needed a little travel journal that would keep my menu ideas, favorite picnic spots, and favorite wine list all in one spot!🍓

It will also have room for lots of photos and places to journal all the memories.💕 Using my Cricut, I made different die cuts, made lots of pockets and added a ribbon to tie it closed.

Let's take a look at this cutie!💛🌼

🌸Life is a Picnic🌸

I made the pretty circle doily and picnic basket with a Cricut.🍉

🌞Added a grommet and ribbon to tie it closed.

All the pretty pages🙂

I made menu cards to give me some ideas on food to prepare.😊I want a full picnic basket!🌸Yum

and, printed out the recipes and tucked them in a pocket!🍉

🌼This sweet travel journal has a hand sewn binding. It was made with card stock weight paper.
