"365: Re-Explore", released in November, is a travel-themed stamp following " 365: Tabi " and " 365: Trip Guru ". "365: Re-Explore" is a stamp that takes advantage of the concept of the "Day By Day" series, "a stamp that is completed with a single stamp", and is a stamp that cuts out a scene from a trip. It looks like travel journaling will become even more fun.
That being said, since I don't have plans to make a travel journal, I decided to take a fantasy trip. I often talk about fantasy trips that I would like to take as soon as the timing is right, in terms of time and budget, but since the COVID-19 pandemic, I have had even more opportunities to do so. Places I want to go, things I want to do, things I want to eat...there's no end to the things I want to think about. When I thought about using '365: Re-Explore' to write down my fantasy trips, I came up with the idea of using the large tag stamps from ' 365: Tabi '.
It was an idea that suddenly occurred to me, so I couldn't sit still, and when I was taking a breather before going to bed, I enjoyed stamping on the armrest of the sofa. As a result, there were some parts where the larger tags didn't stamp well, but I decided that it was all part of the charm! I pretended not to notice. I think that as I stamped and painted, I didn't notice the roughness of the marks!
I stamped without thinking much about it... For example, "HOKKAIDO" didn't fit in one row, so it ended up with "HOKKAI" and "DO". It looked unbalanced, so I used the Hokkaido stamp from the map of Japan stamp in " 365: Nippon ". Recovery successful! It was a lot of fun making it by stamping as I pleased, in a haphazard way.
I thought about writing something at the end, but the stamp time ran out. I got sleepy and couldn't come up with anything clever to say. Even though I didn't write anything, these are still cute tags! You can stick them on a notebook, punch holes and thread a string through them to make a mini travel album, or you can make a lot of things that don't have to be travel-themed.
Tomorrow is the "365: December" edition. I hope you'll watch it!
