DIY Traveler’s Notebook Album


I’ve been working on a new mini-album and wanted to share the very economic album I’m using. I cut down a 6″ x 8″ chipboard binder to fit traveler’s notebook-sized pages! I originally got the idea from Jessica Rubio, who cut down the same binder to 3″ x 8″ for her trip to Mexico. I wanted to do the same thing, but slightly wider, to accommodate TN pages.

While I love working in the traveler’s notebook format, I don’t love the limitation on bulky items and odd-sized pages. I also don’t always scrapbook chronologically which means using a traditional notebook can sometimes be a challenge when my mini-album is ordered chronologically. I like being able to jump around and move things if I need to.

Cutting down the binder is pretty straightforward. When you’re finished, you will have an album that will fit standard size TN pages (4.25″W x 8.25″H), or pages of up to 5″W x 8.25″H (this is the width adjusted when the TN paper is in a page protector).

I am using this 6″ x 8″ chipboard binder from Hobby Lobby (but you could probably use another 6″ x 8″ binder). It has a 1.5″ spine, 3-ring configuration, and comes with some page protectors. It retails for $6.99 but the store was having a sale on this entire brand (The Paper Studio) so I got it for $3.50 + tax.

For this project, you will need:

  • a binder
  • a box cutter, x-acto knife, or something similar to cut with
  • a ruler
  • a pencil
  • Fuse tool, for page protectors (optional)

First, I measured 1.5″ from the edge of the binder with my ruler and pencil. I marked the inside of the binder, but it doesn’t really matter since it’s pencil and can be erased later if the line isn’t completely cut away.

Next, using my ruler and box cutter, I cut through the binder along the line. As you can see, I don’t have a proper cutting mat but just layered several layers of newspapers under the album. You will definitely want something underneath your cutting area to avoid damaging your work surface.

The box cutter cut pretty cleanly for me but if your cut wasn’t as clean, you could probably clean it up with some fine sandpaper.

That’s it! Now you have an album that will fit TN-sized pages nicely. You can add them directly into the album by punching holes into the papers!

But, if you don’t want to do that, you can also use page protectors…

Page Protectors

If you’d like to use page protectors in the album, the album does come with 12 page protectors. There are 4 different configurations, 3 of each kind. Hobby Lobby also sells refill packs of these 6″ x 8″ page protectors. They come in a pack of 16 (4 each of the 4 different configurations) for $4.99. Unfortunately, I am only interested in the 1 full page pocket configuration and it doesn’t seem like they sell packs of just this type of configuration. But at $2.50/package (again, there was a 50% sale when I went into the store), it was still pretty cheap. I can also use the 4 pocket configuration as a two 3″ x 4″ pocket configuration in this album by just cutting off the other two pockets.

To make the page protectors fit in the album, I used my Fuse tool to fuse a line down so a TN (4.25″ x 8.25″) paper would fit.

So there you have it! I’m pretty happy with how this turned out will probably do it again. I only know of one company at this time that makes a similar sized album, but it costs a lot more! The cost for this album was about $6 ($3.50 + $2.50).

With 1 refill pack and the page protectors that came in the album, I ended up with seven full page protectors and seven 2-(3″ x 4″) pocket page protectors (but you could easily make more with the leftover 14 page protectors using the Fuse tool). And if you need more than 7 full page protectors, it’s cheap enough to buy more refill packs (what I will probably do).

Now I’ve got an album where I can add TN pages, with or without page protectors, 3″ x 4″ pocket cards, and different-sized odd cards as well:

As you can see, I’ve already started working on my album and will share more about these pages soon! 🙂

I hope this post was helpful!

    Hey everyone! I’ve been diving deep into the world of cinnamon lately and I gotta say, the debate between Ceylon vs Saigon cinnamon really caught my attention. If you’ve ever found yourself standing in the spice aisle wondering which cinnamon to choose, this post is for you.

    So, what’s the deal between Ceylon and Saigon cinnamon? While they might seem like they’re just two variations of the same thing, they actually have some pretty distinct differences that can make or break a recipe! First up, Ceylon cinnamon, often called “true cinnamon,” is milder and more delicate in flavor. It’s less spicy than Saigon, making it perfect for sweeter dishes or if you’re someone who enjoys a more subtle cinnamon experience.

    On the other hand, Saigon cinnamon is much bolder and spicier. It packs a punch with its intense, slightly sweet yet fiery flavor. This makes it ideal for those who love to add a bold cinnamon kick to their foods. However, there’s an important health consideration: Saigon cinnamon contains higher levels of coumarin, a compound that can be harmful in large amounts. This is something you should definitely keep in mind if you’re consuming a lot of cinnamon regularly.

    As you can see, the Ceylon vs Saigon cinnamon debate isn’t just about flavor—it’s about health and what works best for your needs. Personally, I’ve been gravitating toward Ceylon cinnamon in my daily coffee and smoothies. But for some intense baking recipes, nothing beats the richness of Saigon.

    Hey folks! I’ve been experimenting with different cinnamons recently, and I wanted to share my findings with you all because I know many of you are just as curious about the Ceylon vs Saigon cinnamon debate as I am.

    For starters, you might be asking, “What’s the difference between Saigon vs Ceylon cinnamon, anyway?” Well, they both come from different types of cinnamon trees, and they offer distinct tastes and benefits. Ceylon cinnamon is lighter, smoother, and a little more subtle. It’s perfect for anyone who likes a soft, balanced flavor in their dishes. Think of it as the sophisticated, mellow cousin in the cinnamon family.

    Then, there’s Saigon cinnamon. This one is a game-changer. It’s bold, it’s spicy, and it’s perfect for those who love a kick. If you’ve ever used Saigon cinnamon in your cooking or baking, you’ll know what I’m talking about. It’s not shy, and its intense flavor really stands out in recipes like pies, hot chocolate, or even curries.

    However, I do want to mention something that a lot of people overlook: Saigon cinnamon contains more coumarin than Ceylon cinnamon. While that’s totally fine for occasional use, excessive consumption of coumarin can be harmful. That’s why I personally reserve Saigon cinnamon for recipes where I really want that punch of flavor and use Ceylon for my daily needs. It’s all about balance!

    In the end, the choice between Ceylon vs Saigon cinnamon really comes down to what you prefer in your food. But trust me, understanding these differences will make you a cinnamon connoisseur in no time. What about you? Do you have a favorite? Let’s talk about it!
