Lady Falcon Travelers

Last week we had the first of 45 weeks of photo prompts for our challenge and we saw some pretty amazing planner stacks. As promised we will select the one with the most likes every week to be hosted as the weekly Group header photo. This week it was easy to pick out one from the entered photo's in the group, but as the year progresses, it may become harder and harder with just the one tag for the challenge, therefore I think maybe a special tag per week may be needed to find the correct weekly photo. So next to the #weeklyphotochallenge2016 and #weeklyphotochallenge we need a numbered one to discern the weeks. Since the prompts are numbered we'll call it #weeklyphotochallenge2016nr1 and with this being number 2 this weeks will be #weeklyphotochallenge2016nr2. This weeks photo challenge  favorite was made by Anjes, with a pretty awesome planner pile all of her own. This weeks challenge is about Notebook Essentials, so I gathered a few of my favorite things. Things I would consider Notebook Essentials. A pencil case with pens, pencils, eraser, scissors, glue stick and pencil sharpener. My pencil wrap, with my favorite doodle pens, waterbrushes and of course brush tip pens. And of course a little stack of washi. Because you never now when you need to tape something down Or might need to cover something up, or just plainly pretty up a page or booklet... So here are the challenge prompts again, as a reminder for you all and also a reminder for the giveaway we're having in the Lady Falcon Traveler's Notebook group as a celebration of reaching 1500 members. You can Find more information about this here. Don't forget, at the end of the year there is also a prize for this weekly photochallenge. Two actualy, a Peoples award, which will be chosen by the members of the group and an Admin award, which will be chosen by the admins of the group. They'll be chosen from the weekly challenge winners. So come join the fun for a chance to win at the end of the challenge. Have a wonderful week and good luck with the challenges! xoxo Monique

This will be a very short blogpost, with just the video announcing the winner of the giveaway from the previous blogpost Traveler's Notebook. So a short blogpost and a short video, that would be a first right? =) Maybe even a bit too short... How about a little eye candy then, my newest addition to my Traveler's Notebook family. Meet my super cute wallet passport Traveler's Notebook. When I started I didn't know if it was going to work... I just knew I wanted to try it! Gave it a shot and was pleasantly surprised about the result. The original painting isn't with me, because it lives in a Round Robin book in Germany ;-) I was rather sad to see it go, but made several pictures and have been using it for my business card and things like that. I love the colors and the feel of the painting. I wasn't sure if I would be able to reproduce it, because, honestly, I never know what I do/did....I just do.... But I think it turned out rather well and it even looks cool with my lovely vintage Lady Falcon pen =) Anyway, back to the give-away... Congratulations Tabatha, your notebook is coming your way, I hope you will enjoy using it as much as I did making it =) Have a wonderful weekend.

At the beginning of last year I saw some beautiful Traveler's Notebook that were made with a technique called leather burning, pyrography. Inspired by this I set out to gather all the materials needed to give this a shot. Made a trial piece in leather and then somehow never got any further. A Month on 2 pages diary for 2015, with extra room for notes after each month. An undated week on two pages diary, with a vertical format. And next to the plain insert I always add, there's also a folder with 2 pen-loops.
