Step by Step:

1. For the front cover trim a piece of the Imaginisce paper from the let's roll collection 8.5'' x 11'' using the scallop blade in the

rotary side of the 2 in 1 combo trimmer. Because it is double sided it will create the inside page of your book too!

2. Cut a piece of cardstock from Bazzill or Coredinations again using the scallop blade 7'' x 9'' and another piece in a contrasting

color with the guillotine this time 6.5'' x 8.5''. Mat and layer these 2 mats on to the base paper that will be the front of your book,tacking in position with the glue glider pro w/ repositionable tape. Decorate the mat with some stickers from the Imaginisce Let's

roll collection and add some doodling with a black journal pen.

Creating a perpetual travel journal to record all your vacation memories,

plan your trips and to keep all your memorabilia safe to scrap when youget home is so easy with the Purple Cows Hot/Kool laminator and the 2

in 1 combo trimmer. Using a white board marker you can record all your

memories on the laminate day by day and then simply wipe clean whenyour done creating your memory book on your return!

3. Before you laminate the cover create the mat for the inside of

your book and stick it to the back of the base paper of your cover.

My mat is 6.25'' x 9.25'' cut from a green cardstock with the guillo-

tine and a yellow cardstock trimmed to 6'' x 9'' using the scallop

blade in the rotary trimmer of the 2 in 1 combo. I then printed my

wording out onto some white paper using a font on my computer,

trimmed it with the guillotine and made a mat with contrasting

cardstock and trimmed it with the scallop click blade again. Once

the front and back of the front cover are assembled put it into a

#4040 8.5'' x 11'' hot pocket and leave it to one side to laminate later.

4. The next few pages of my book consist of laminated information

of my trip with maps and sight seeing points and important

information about the resort. This is where it becomes a perpetual

journal as you can change this information for each trip! Also

because the maps are laminated you can take them out of the book

and around with you when they are needed and they will stay

perfectly preserved to add in to your scrapbook at a later date. The

'our trip' page also serves as a great place to record the basic

information about your vacation like the resort name, hotel, ight

details etc.

5. Next up we have a double sided notes page, one side after the

printed information can be a place to record all your plans of places

to visit and the other side forms the 1st page of your day by day

journal. Simply trim a piece of cardstock 8.5'' x 11'' with the scallop

click blade and 2 mats (one for either side) in a contrasting colour

7.5'' x 10''. Tack the mats in place using the glue glider again and

decorate the pages with some of the Imaginisce stickers and rub ons.

6. The next thing is to create the pocket pages, these will have a

'blank' page on the back which forms the following days area to

record your day by day memories. Create as many pages as you wish

in exactly the same way to cover the amount of days you will be on

vacation for. Trim a piece of coloured cardstock 8.5'' x 11'' using the scallop click blade, and on the reverse trim a mat 7.5'' x 10''

again using the scallop blade, tack in place and decorate with stickers and rub ons. On the pocket side of the cardstock print

o 2 title plates from your computer to record date and place, mat these on some contrasting card and trim with the guillo-

tine, can you see how thin the borders are? what other guillotine could give you such a sharp precision cut? Tack these in place

near the top of your page. Insert this into a #4040 8.5'' x 11'' Hot pocket and leave with the others to laminate later.

7. To create the photo pocket trim a piece of the Imag-

inisce paper 8'' x 8'' using the scallop blade and print o

a title plate putting this on a mat trimmed with the

scallop blade again in a contrasting cardstock. Tack this

near the top of the paper and insert the piece into a #

4030 8'' x 8'' Hot pocket.

8. To create the momentos pocket trim another piece of

the Imaginisce paper, again using the scallop blade, 6'' x

6''. Printo a title plate and mat it onto some contrasting

cardstock, trimming a ne border with the gullotine.

Tack to the paper and put it all in a # 4025 6'' x 6'' Hot

pocket.

9. And lastly create the ticket pocket in the same way, this time trimming the

paper with a scallop edge 3'' x 5''. Again print of a title and mat it onto some

colored cardstock trimming it with the guillotine. Put this in a # 4010 3'' x 5'' Hot

pocket

10. Ok time to re up the laminator on the hot setting at 3 mil. Because you can

laminate up to 1/8th'' thick with the purple cows laminator even the pages that

have 4 layers of cardstock and stickers on them will go through easily and

perfectly and how much fun is it to have all those crafting size Hot pockets to play

with?

11. Once the laminator is up to temperature (only a couple of minutes!) Start

feeding your pages through. This is a perfect late evening crafting activity as the

Purple Cows laminator makes no noise!

12. Now you have all the pages laminated assemble the pocket pages by applying

a thin line of Helmars 450 Quick dry adhesive around the outside of each pocket.Start with the 8 x 8 and work to the smallest layering up your pockets. The

Helmars will dry crystal clear and is as strong as the laminate so will hold

perfectly!

13. With all the pocket pages assembled

and trip information gathered punch 2

holes on the spine of the book and join

with book rings, these will allow you to

take pages in and out as you want and add

pages for those longer trips.

14. Decorate the front of the book with

some of the fabulous 3 D Imaginisce

stickers and tie some of the pretty ribbons

through the book rings.

15. And that's it, you're good to go with

your perpetual travel journal. Remember

to record all your memories to make your

fabulous scrapbooks when you return,

thanks for playing and Bon Voyage! Love
