Altenew in a Traveler's Notebook

So excited to be a part of the Altenew blog hop in celebration of their March release! There's fun prizes plus a giveaway for a $30 gift certificate below, so be sure to enter. If you're coming from Debby Hughes' blog and you've never been here before, welcome! I used some of the new March release products from Altenew to create a spread in my traveler's notebook.  What I love about this smaller format is that you can allot yourself a smaller amount of time and try new techniques, or just combine your favorites for a fun little spread.  There are no rules, so I tried a few of my favorites and printed out a photo from my phone using the Instax Share SP-3. When I first laid my eyes on the dotted washi tape at Creativation (video here), I could hardly contain my excitement. I used the leaf burst stencil with the Antique Gold Ink Spray on white cardstock and then cut around the design using these scissors.

Then I began laying out the design to cover part of both pages.

I added the Leafy Garland Die cut from paper from my latest collection, Sunshine and Good Times.  For the washi tape, I just tore some of the pink and gold elements from the Watercolor Strokes roll. I finished off the journaling using a Tombow Fudenosuke pen.

Prizes: To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to SIX lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog by Wednesday, March 14th for a chance to win. Six winners will be announced on the Altenew blogs on 3/17/2018.
