Hello! Time for another art journal layout and today’s theme is travel.
I had so much fun creating that suitcase and I am sharing my go-to technique to create that leather look.
I have also created all the suitcase accents, such as the straps, the corner reinforcements and the travel stickers. One of my favorite elements on this project are the red airplane trails. I think small details like that, add so much in the whole picture!
You can enjoy the video below or at my YouTube channel. In the beginning of the video I am also sharing a quick flip though my art journal since everyone is asking for it.

Thank you all for joining me today! I will be back during the week with more how-to videos and a giveaway. So stay tuned!
Happy Sunday!
A really gorgeous project and thanks sooo much for sharing how you did that leatherlook, that is fabulous Vicky
JUST GO is JUST FANTASTIC !!!!! You’re the best Vicky
Fantastic Vicky! Your pages are always such a delight! Love your faux leather, and colours!
Awesome, Vicky! Love the suitcase. I saw Tim H use Ink Refresher on a tag and made it looked just like leather. I like your version too! And those little airplanes, oh my, how special you made this project with all your little details. Super cool. TFS – you’re the best!
Wow! What a fantastic page Vicky!
I loooove it!!
WOW! I love all your videos, Vicky! This journal page is wonderful. I love all the details. I have learned so much from you and you inspire me with every project!
Thank you so much for sharing your creative genius!
Bravo….great layout! You are amazing. How do you come up with all these wonderful pages? Such detail! Would it be possible to do a page pertaining to animals? My son and daughter are animal rescuers and I would love to do a layout on canvas for them but I’m having a hard time coming up with a design. Would love some inspiration from you!!
Also, do you seal your pages with something when you’re done?
Thank you a million times for sharing your wonderful work!

Hello Vicky,
First of all.. WOW i totally love your work!! It is so beautiful!
I sort of a starter with scrapbooking. Well i’m about to start but first i want to get inspired. And you do inspire me. Unfortunaly i do not have the money to buy all the supplies your using and so i have to buy the cheap version of some kind of materials!!
I’m from Holland, but do you have some advice for the people who want to create those beautiful pages to but have not a lot of money to buy al these stuff you use?
Thank you for sharing your inspiration!
Love Stèphanie x

Can you find Mod Podge? Many say that it works the same. Haven;t tried it though.
Hi Vicky,
I LOVE this page…maybe it’s the travel theme. I really loved “learning” the technique for making the leather suitcase. I have a friend who will be turning 100 years old in March and she has traveled the world since she was about 22. I am going to use your idea to make her a suitcase birthday card. She will LOVE it. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas. Keep those art journal pages coming! Margaret
Vicky,
I love love your journaling videos. Please make more I get so inspired by you. I am new to art journaling and have a lot to learn about when to use Gesso and when to use matte medium. Thanks for all of your creative videos. I need many many more!!!
Hi Vicky,
I’ve just watched your “Just Go” video and am so impressed with your skills. I think I’ve watched most if not all your videos now and have learned heaps! Thanks for sharing.
Now I look forward to seeing how you will re-arrange the spine of your journal …you’re so near the end of the sketchbook and I can’t imagine how you will expand the binding.
Best wishes from the other side of this lovely planet in Australia. You know, back in the 80s, Melbourne was the second (or third, not sure) largest Greek city after Athens.
