Thank you for this timely and great video, Vicky! I leave early next week to visit family who live by the ocean (SO excited to get to spend time by the sea again)! If there’s time before I go, I’d like to make one of these to take with me and record the visit. If not, I’ll make one when I get home. This would be a good way for me to use up some of my ocean-themed stash! Thanks for including use of resin items — always appreciate seeing what you do with resin! Looking forward to creating something like this for the first time!! Thank you also for the inspiration and the many different ideas!
Dear Vicky! So cool again! Following you quite a while mainly on insta and I am always again impressed of the amount of ideas you have. I wonder if you can help me. I am a big Agatha Christie fan and would love to make a kind of queen of crime journal. With all those lovely storys of Poirot and Miss Marple and Tommy and Tuppence and so on. I wonder if you can recommend a paper set that would work with this idea, I am actually totaly confused because there are so many by Stamperia.
This DIY Traveler’s notebook is such a useful project! I’m always looking for handmade gift ideas, and this one is perfect. It’s personal, practical, and a great way to showcase beautiful paper. Thanks for sharing this!
That’s a neat DIY Traveler’s notebook! Perfect for jotting down adventures. It reminds me of customizing vehicles in Snow Rider 3D, but instead of sleds, you’re crafting a unique book. The video tutorial is a great touch; I’m always looking for projects to use up paper scraps. Thanks for sharing this creative and useful idea!
Thanks for your sharing, it is very useful to me and many others. I will regularly visit to read your new articles. Keep up the good work!

The DIY Traveler’s Notebook project is creative and practical, offering a great way to make the most of 8×8 paper pads to create lovely gifts!
I love how you used up the 8×8 paper pads for this one. The idea of making the inserts and the elastic charm from the same scraps is such a smart way to finish a set. I will try the cover with some thicker cardstock first and see how it holds up in a bag. Thanks for the video tutorial, it makes the folding much easier to follow.
What a beautiful project! Turning paper pads into a DIY traveler’s notebook is such a clever way to give those gorgeous sheets a real purpose. The elastic closure and the step-by-step photos make it feel totally doable even for a beginner. Thank you for sharing!
Such a lovely way to use paper pads! Turning the 8×8 sheets into a traveler notebook cover with the elastic closure looks both practical and pretty. I keep all my paper scraps for projects like this one. After a crafting session I like to unwind with a challenging arrow maze game before starting the next spread. Thanks for sharing the steps so clearly, the photos make everything easy to follow!
This traveler’s notebook turned out so lovely! I like how you used the patterned paper pads for the covers – it really shows how much variety you get in one pad. The elastic closure and the little pockets inside are such nice touches. I always end up with tons of leftover paper pads and never know what to do with them, so this is a great way to put them to use. Thanks for sharing the full walkthrough!
This DIY traveler’s notebook is a creative and practical way to turn leftover 8×8 paper pads into something useful and personal. From making the cover and inserts to adding a handmade elastic charm, the project is simple enough for a relaxing afternoon and also makes a thoughtful handmade gift
