I will be going to Budapest and Prague this March with my good friends, Andi, Darya and Pam. I just finished prepping my travel journal. The last time I was in Prague, Darya and I visited the Mucha museum. I am a big fan, so this was a must see for me. While there, I bought a Mucha weekly engagement calendar from the gift shop. I thought this would be the perfect thing to use for my journal. The pages are heavy and sturdy and will hold up well on it's journey.
Here is the cover,
Here are some of the inside pages. I left most of the images in the book and will work around them. I used spray paint, adirondack acrylic paint dabbers, colorbox chalk cat's eyes, fingernail polish, magic markers, rub-ons, stickers, magazine cut outs, fabric trims, scrapbook & watercolor paper, and old journal pages that I altered.
I bought this wrapping paper the last time I was in Prague. I used it in the back of the book and trimmed the edges with lace.
My journal is all ready to go and I can't wait for this fun and exciting trip.



















I love Mucha, what a lovely journal, I'm looking forward to seeing the "after" pictures too! Have a fun trip!
