Let’s Make A TRAVELERS NOTEBOOK Journal From Scratch Using Recycled Materials!

[@amitybloom159]

The autumn season touches my heart as it brings me back to my childhood! I had so much fun making my new personal journal for my travelers notebook from a paper bag and altering it with vintage papers as well as my new digital kits that bring me back to simple cozy days! If you loved the papers or ephemera used and would like to make your own California Dreaming Journal click the link to the shop: www.etsy.com/shop/AmityBloom I hope this video brought you warmth and creativity during this wholesome season, sending all my love to you all and I will be back next week to share even more surprises! - Nazy

hehe, dear is ''California Dreamin'' not ''dreaming'' ;) Sweet video and journal, as always...

[@simplemountainlife2301]

@@TeacupAndRoses Well, it really depends on the connotation in this case the creator knows why she picked the use of the verb in her sentence.

[@TeacupAndRoses]

@@simplemountainlife2301 I mean the name of the song is CALIFORNIA 'DREAMIN' (literal) I'm not talking about grammar rules ......

[@TheJournalCottage]

Oh how I love today’s beautiful art using paper. My husband and I sold our too large home, to much smaller. It’s Devine as we are on a lake. I Realized that what was hitting me with anxiety and depression was by moving 3 hours away from our children. And no crafting. Since not feeling well for 11 months. Craft studio is in the garage so my husband could build my desk and altering the closet. I have put down a great rug I found at Rugs.USA.

The Mama's and the Papa's California Dreaming has always been a favorite of mine. I was a girl in the 60's and loved all their music. This is such a beautiful journal with the gorgeous elements throughout and the fun, memorable song lyrics.

[@EliaBachman-sm2gs]

My favorite song ever and a beautiful travel memory journal you created. Thanks

[@nancyjohnston6076]

You truly make the most beautiful things! I LOVE your new California Dreamin' and Autumn items so much! They're the colors and mood of my teens and early married years. So many memories.

[@kellyjean4981]

This has so much feeling and beauty to it. I love the care and thought that you put into your art.

[@406annie]

What a perfect video to show off your new collections, Nazy! Who doesn’t love California Dreamin’? That sweet song inspired you to make gorgeous papers, and you inspired us to make, too. Great job! I always love to see how you put things together. Your style is very different to mine, and it’s so fun to see your creative process as well as the end result. Making a TN is on my list of things to do. Love you, dear, and all the beauty you add to our world! Xo

[@MandaFandaa]

How in the world are you able to mix the most unlikeliest of colors together and it look that incredible? You are so talented Nazy.

[@didicute7227]

Thank you … I got all the peace and love that you sent 🤍🤍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤍🤍🌺

[@amitybloom159]

That warms my heart SO MUCH!! Thank you for sharing that with me ❤️

[@AzaleaLala]

California Dreaming is one of my favorite songs. Your notebook and the kit are gorgeous. I have some sheets from the 60s/70s with the retro floral design that will look great with these colors and patterns. I absolutely love it when people make notebooks without all the measurements. Just eyeball the entire thing. The pages don't have to match up perfectly. I do the same as you with my TN notebooks that I make, I do not bind them till they are completed. I also go for uncommon quotes from songs and movies. For instance Star Wars has wonderful quotes about hope. "Hope is like the Sun. If you only believe in it when you can see it, you'll never make it through the night."~Leia Organa. You always inspire me Nazy. Thank you.

[@amitybloom159]

I couldn’t agree more! Life is already difficult and intricate at times, why make a journal or notebook that much harder as well! Im so happy Im not the only one who prefers creating a journal organically without the hassle of measuring. I like to dedicate as much time as I can to decorating and putting my personality onto the pages, truly making the journal your own! I cannot thank you enough for sharing that amazing quote with me, so simple but incredibly impactful and can be applied so perfectly to our lives! I’m going to archive that into my journal, thank you my friend! Your messages never fail to leave me with a smile, they inspire me so much!

[@CindyLejeune]

You have the most beautiful elegant things I love watching your videos.

[@Faithful10415]

This is by far one of my favorite videos this season. The digital packs are really unique and pretty. I would love to make a Travelers notebook like this as yours is really gorgeous. Thanks for the inspiration! And the beautiful paper goods.

[@amitybloom159]

Aww Annie!! My cheeks are hurting from how much your comment made me smile!! THANK YOU for sharing such a lovely comment! You definitely should make your own Travelers notebook and put all of your personality inside of it, you will love it! Sending you a HUGE hug 🥰

[@rozenart5768]

Just when we thought... you come out with this gorgeous new line!! Amazing!

[@amitybloom159]

Aww your so lovely!! Thank you sweetheart, I am overjoyed that you loved it!!

[@jbmeyers9380]

Fall is equal to comfort for me... the colours speak to me...

[@pamelaburke9250]

So beautiful! I was a teenager in the 60s and California Dreamin is a favorite memory. Thanks!

[@nancyjohnston6076]

Aaaaaaaaagh! I'm going to die under paper, but I LOVE it! Three more printing right now! Beautiful new stuff! Wasn't even thinking I'd care for this color way, but I should trust ANYTHING you do!

[@Bobagem1972]

California Dreaming is a winner! Beautiful ❤️❤️

[@kathleenrothman]

I will be buying this collection ! Stunningly breathtaking🥰 and Love an old favorite song 👍🌻 thank you ☮️🌈🌺🌸

[@Tracymw99]

Love this idea using the song !!!! So much meaning behind it 🌻

[@CJG1419]

The colors are so pretty. Nice video! Great point about homemade journals vs store bought journals. They are individual rather than generic.

[@amitybloom159]

Exactly! The beauty of our handmade journals is no one can have the same one, very special to the creator or owner. Thank you so much for your kind words sweetheart!

[@gloriabonnifield9740]

Loved your presentation, your video and of course, California Dreaming great harmonies.

[@lorettavalmorbida7793]

Very lovely fall is my favorite season, I love all the fall colors and also wear them. Your journal is beautiful.

[@barbaraevers1550]

Wow, I think this is my favorite kit from you so far I think, I just love it! Love the colors and the intensity, love the vibe and can’t wait to start creating with it! California Dreaming is just my mood, since due to COVID I can’t visit my sister who lives there, but I think working with this kit will make it a little bit easier. Thank you so much ❤️

[@amitybloom159]

Aww Barbara that makes me so happy! I have to say It was the kit I had the most fun creating as it was very special to make! The colors take you to a place of happiness and knowing that the kit will bring you a piece of warmth that you missed this year from not seeing your sister, warms my heart SO MUCH!! Sending huge hugs and positivity sweetheart 🌼

[@-lovecassy_333]

As much as I love pastels, I do love more darker and warmer tones and earthy colors, especially an eclectic feel. These tones also remind me of your first few ephemera collections when you were starting, many beautiful golden colors with splashes of bright but vintage earthy tones here and there. I loved that time, even though I subscribed a few good months later, looking at your old videos really gave me inspiration. I already have the kits and am sooo excited to use them! Love this collection and the song and just everything you said is truly how I feel when journaling, love including personal songs and poems of my own to add more of myself into my journal, my safe place. I can only imagine what would become if you actually made a whole junk journal kit, with pages and ephemeral treasures. I hope you and your family are well and best wishes for the holidays as we all need them in a crazy year like this. Best wishes~ 🌻❤️✨

[@creatingwhimsy5536]

I feel like I am in my grandmas 1960s kitchen! I love it Nazy!!! All those colors and florals!!

I just made sure to not monetize the video so the rights aren’t being used against the song! Make sure you check the KZbin creator site to know the restrictions as it can sometimes be confusing! As long as your not profiting from the video or song I think you’ll be okay sweetheart, but double check for sure 😊
