This is a continuation from the last post [ Memory Keeping: 010 ], this time it's the page on the right.
The vellum paper I added in the middle looks slightly see-through, which is a nice touch. The bottom part of the vellum paper looks pink, but that's the backside of the paper I pasted on the previous page. Because it's see-through, I was careful to make sure that the pictures and text on the backside of the paper I pasted on wouldn't get in the way when viewed from the back page.
The train stamp is from " 365: Nippon 2 ". Since the [Train] and [Railroad] stamps are separate, you can make a long train and connect the tracks indefinitely. When stamping your notebook, it's cute to color it in yellow for the Chuo Line and green for the Yamanote Line!
I used the " 365: My Town " stamp set to create the day I took a leisurely stroll around Kichijoji. I layered light green and dark green masking tape stickers to create the ground. It didn't take much effort at all, but it looks really cute.
By combining the houses, buildings, trees, telephone poles, gas stations, and more from this " 365: My Town " stamp set, you can stamp any cityscape you like. If you stamp a tower with red ink, it will look just like Tokyo Tower. The stamp with several cars stacked on top of each other was made possible after a friend suggested, "It would be nice to have a stamp that represents traffic jams in Hawaii." It's a really fun stamp set, so be sure to give it a try!
Earlier, I mentioned " 365: Nippon 2, " which includes train stamps , but since there is a second edition, there is of course also the first edition, " 365: Nippon ." This stamp set is perfect for traveling within Japan and recording the days you ate ramen or sushi.
The kokeshi dolls inside are super cute! They are divided into an outline and a pattern, so you can stamp the pattern part with a different color. Just adding a little color makes them look a lot more adorable, don't you think?
In an old Traveler's Notebook, there was a page that used " 365: Nippon " a lot. If you look at the bottom right of the page, you'll see that there are both non-conveyor belt sushi and conveyor belt sushi options (sushi clogs and conveyor belt sushi plates). What's more, you could even put a conveyor belt sushi plate on top of a Shinkansen to represent a certain sushi restaurant! (lol)
I love this 365 Japan series, so I hope to make a third and fourth installment.
