Hello everyone!!!
I pulled out my Traveler's Notebook today to make another page in this project! This page is actually Christmas themed so I pulled out my container of Elle's Studio Christmas products to play around with. This is the Traveler's Notebook I am using to document different things we like to do around town. If you missed my introduction to this notebook and project, make sure you go back and check it out (link to the video: youtu.be/C636dV8v_vY).
I'm totally loving the Christmas season this year, especially since I am home a lot more with my family - more than I ever have been and I love it! Well, I don't have any Christmas photos printed yet from this season so I found some from a few years ago. These photos are from the Christmas Parade in Raleigh a few years ago....
I love these photos! Calen was so tiny that he could still sit on Ernest's shoulder while watching the parade go by. Calen loved the bands but always covered his ears as the drum lines went by. The last layout I did had two photos on it, and this one has three on it - I didn't think I would like it, but I do!
In addition to using my stash, I also purchase kits to review and share with you! If you are interested in seeing all the kits I've reviewed, I’ve got my Kit Review Resource Guide available for you, here is the link: designbymelody.wordpress.com/resources-and-tools
Here are links to all of the videos associated with this project:
- Introduction and title page: youtu.be/C636dV8v_vY
- All I need is Target: youtu.be/fXe3qdDFzvo
- Ice Cold: youtu.be/aXMWkqIS_ks

- First Day of the Season: youtu.be/hHgoNr1oEVI
- July 4th: youtu.be/Ex5YiyoJEbA
- Merry Christmas: youtu.be/HiIqinX1pS4
Now after trying this Traveler's Notebook with three photos I think it's a lot more versatile than I originally thought it was. I love it!

![Project Life | NC State Fair 2016| Stash Supplies Process Video
Hello friends!!
Todays video features a Project Life page! I am forever behind in my albums but Im ok with that. The main thing is that with every page I complete thats one more memory captured! One thing I do need to focus on though is taking more photos... Im not as good at doing that on a daily basis. Thats something to work on, but for now... Ive got some fun photos from 2016 when we went on our annual trip to the NC State Fair in Raleigh, NC!
The kit Im using is a kit I put together probably 2 months ago... its just been sitting there waiting for me to finish using it. When I use stash kits Im not so rigid with it that I have to use it up, but when it still inspires me I keep it together until it no longer inspires me. I think because I have just been working with it on and off that the products are still interesting to me, Im not bored with it yet, haha. When I work with something constantly for a short period of time I tend to get bored real fast. Just the way my brain works!!
This particular layout is from October, when we were at the NC State Fair and these products are absolutely not fall themed, but they totally work with these photos!
Here is a list of some of the products I used for todays layout... [if something is not listed that means its either discontinued or I cant find it online for purchase!]:
