If you're new to Art Journal Every Day, there is a short introduction here. All of the previous posts can be found archived here. Remember, it's just ten minutes of nourishing your creative self every day! No need to finish anything or even like it. If you've done some art journaling this week, use the hashtag #artjournaleveryday so that we can all take a peek. Even if you're not on social media, you can see everything (from twitter, pinterest, instagram, and facebook) that uses that hashtag here.
Beyond keeping me task oriented, it's important to me that my Traveler's Notebook be a place to make art. I do quite a bit of sketching in my current Bullet Journal. Usually it's pretty simple — just using a pen and a bit of time, as you can see here:
To make my Traveler's Notebook an art powerhouse, I decided to add a sketchbook and watercolor palette to it. Yay! Hopefully this will take my simple sketches a step forward!
Check out this video to see how the watercolor palette came together and fits into my Traveler's Notebook:
Here's the palette from the video:
- Watercolor Paper
- Scissors
- Clear Ruler
- Mechanical Pencil
- Peerless Watercolors
- ATG
- Waterproof Pen
- Paintbrush
Next week I'll share a chatty video of my completed Traveler's Notebook! Double hooray!
Thanks for stopping by!

I have never used a TN before and just stating out. Is there a video of the different sections and what you use them for, besides your art journaling, etc? I love your art and your talent! Is part of your TN for scheduling and other important things to remember? Thanks so much for this video…it has inspired me to do more!

Fabulous idea! Your traveler’s notebook is awesome. I love how you assembled, added magnets, etc. I never heard of Peerless Watercolors, so thanks for that tip too!

Hi Julie 🙂 Is this the new blog design permanent or transitional? I’m hoping it’s transitional….it seems so plain compared to you, your art, and personality! I miss that colorful header…but I do love the wider reading area and sans-serif font! Of course, these are just my opinions. I hope this comes across as constructive, and not a negative-just-to-be-negative comment!

Julie, did you make the covers for each section of your notebook? It looks like they are laminated and have velcro/magnets on the fold over closure. Have you posted a blog on how you made them or did I just miss that? Love the idea of using the Peerless paints that way – I’ve got a larger palette made, but didn’t think of doing a small one. Talk about missing the obvious!
