For the inside cover, I stamped the trip dates using the December Stamp of the Month.  I stamped it twice and then cut out the dates of the trip - and pasted as one long string.  I added a hollyhock photo arrow here as well.


For the journal pages, I alternated Blush and Pink cardstock.  On the front of each page, I stamped the "mo. day yr." on the upper right corner and "notice the details" on the bottom left corner.  On the back of the page, I stamped "celebrate the everyday".
