Patriotic Post Card Journal

Through our gypsy travels, we love to collect ephemera to remind us of all are museums, shops and events we see along our travels. We also like to make little notes to document our memories. I am Monica Taylor and I have the perfect project for that!!! Let’s have a look at my Patriotic Post Card Journal.

Using the American Vintage 8×8 Paper stack and various ephemera as my inspiration, I created this little Patriotic Post Card Passport Book to capture all our memories along the way.
