Vacation Notebook | Design Team: Lorilei Murphy

Hello friends! Lorilei here today sharing a project using the new Far and Wide Collection!

I was super inspired by this travel collection and put together a notebook of our trip to Seattle. The notebook came together so quickly since the collection was easy to use and there is so much to choose from to tell your travel stories and highlight your travel photos!

I mixed and matched Layle By Mail alpha stamps for my title page. Tali, Poe, Timmy and Reggie. I added the dates with the 2026 About Last Month set and the Poe numbers. I had to make a super cute city stamp with the Postage Builders!

I added a title in photoshop before printing out my airplane window photo, the addition of two die cuts made a fantastic opening page.

I stamped this page with a rainbow of colours inspired by the collection and the Timmy alpha. I had no trouble finding matching die cut icons to go with each colour since the packs are bursting with die cuts!

This page starts with days of the trip. I most definitely had to use the half circle globe die cut and I added some fun flags and a title on top! The back holds my journaling and then two matching pages for the story.

The Far and Wide Rubon Set is fantastic! They make for easy embellishment on a photo!

My next set of pages uses the Destination Unknown Mini stamp set. I LOVE that it is a mini version of the Timmy alpha. I made little 2x2” cards with a small stamped title.

Love how fun and bright this page is. I mixed and matched cut parts, die cuts and stickers for this page. I made one of the squares with the Far and Wide stamp set using the fun word collage stamp and colourful inks!

I made a memory planner style page to add little snippets of what we did each day in one place, lots of interactive flip ups using cut-aparts and die cuts! I used the 2026 About Last month stamp set for the dates and had just enough space for the circle die cut day numbers!
