Postcard Holiday Diary

Ever forgotten what you did on holiday?

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/postcard-holiday-diary • Posted by Willow Bon-Bon

Ah...the memories! When I was a child I used to do lots of art and craft things on holiday. This year I carried on the tradition by a making a postcard diary thingy. Now I know what you're thinking - 'But aren't you supposed to send postcards, Willow? - ah ha not for this clever little project - oh no you don't. Really you don't - otherwise it won't work. Anyway, it's a great way to remember all the exciting things you did on your holiday or trip - plus you could even frame it! In the first picture, I've put my postcards in a 'Paperchase' wallet to keep then nice, but you could also tie it up with pretty ribbon - like in the second picture! Which was my original idea but the hole punch was too small...oops :) PS: The time limit is for roughly how long each postcard will take you. It may seem like a long time to part with from your holiday - but time flies when you're having fun!

Instructions

  1. Small dsc00895 1313051471

    First make a mental reminder to oneself to buy a postcard everyday (everyday that you are on holiday/trip that is - don't get too carried away!). Or if you're not a fan of postcards, take a picture everyday instead! It should be of either the place you went to that day or something that reminds you of the day.

  2. Everyday, simply write a personal account of everything you did. From weird and wonderful to emotional and memeorable! Don't forget to add lots of colour and stickers!

  3. When you get back from your holiday/trip tie together with ribbon or show off in a simple wallet!
