   Use it for backgrounds, layering, small cards, or flip-ups.

Create your Journal – Step-by-Step

1. Choose the notebook you like.

If you enjoy sticking memorabilia, opt for thicker paper (≥100gsm) – and if you want to draw as well, then ideally pick this!

2. Dedicate the first page to a title: "My Summer Journey 2025".

Use stickers, washi tape, and stamps for an eye-catching layout.

3. For each page, dedicate:

• A short summary of the day (where you were, what you ate, how you felt).
• 1-2 printed photos (you can print them in Polaroid style for a vintage look).
• Small cutouts/memorabilia (tickets, receipts, flowers, etc.).

4. Perform paper layering with the paper pad you chose.

Make tags, little envelopes, and hidden pockets for messages under the photos.

5. Use stamps to achieve a retro or travel-inspired feel.

Create unique backgrounds with your stamps – or simply add the date and location.

Bonus Ideas:

• Make a pocket inside the cover for memorabilia.

• Leave some pages blank at the end for post-trip reflections.

• And don’t forget to write: “How did this trip make you feel?”
