I had many questions on how I made my travel brag book and how I made it in just a few hours. Here are some quick tips on what helps me work quickly and a how to video!

Tip # 1

Have all your supplies ready to go!

Pull out your base for your project in this case large envelopes and card stock

Pre-measure the page sizes and jot them down.

Pick through all your scrap paper select your pages and cut them to the correct size

Pull out all the embellishments and fun things you have been hoarding

Use up all the scrap ribbon, scrap strips and all those buttons!

Pull out all the tools you "had" to have like the crop a dile and cuttlebug and use them!

Basic instructions:

3 - 9x12 envelopes

3 - 8 1/2 X 11 sheets of cardstock

fold all of the above in half

Punch a hole about 1" from the top and one toward the bottom

Feed ribbon through top and bottom holes and tie a knot on the outside cover

Cut pattern papers down to size 12 cut at 8 1/2X 5 1/2 for the envelopes and 12 cut at 8 1/4X5 1/4 for the cardstock

Add ribbon and twine to any papers first then using hot glue gun glue the pattern paper down

Now add your embellishments, journal tags and fun pockets!

I hope you enjoyed my quick tip today!
