Looking forward to London!

Plan your trip and create an instant album of memories!

As we all know, it’s often the build-up that can be the best part. This is particularly true when it comes to planning a trip. If you’re one of the lucky ones who’s shortly about to embark on a city break, you can use your journal to lay out your travel plans really clearly and in decorative style at the same time! The writing utensils in the Colour Happy Big Box offer a wide selection of fibre pens, brush pens and fineliners - all perfect for designing your pages. After your trip, any travel cards, entry tickets and the like can be added to create a lovely album of memories.

Step-by-step

Step 1

To design the pages, use the edding 1340 brush pens and the edding 1800 profipen from the Colour Happy Big Box in the colours of your choosing. First, if you so wish, print out the template featuring the London motifs.

Step 2

The page layout can either be drawn freehand or transferred into your journal with the aid of carbon paper and a pencil. The edding 1800 profipen allows you to create really fine, highly detailed designs.

Step 3

Embellish your page by including imaginative borders, underlining details or drawing extra individual motifs – whatever takes your fancy.

Step 4

Once you’ve sketched everything, it’s time to use the edding 1340 brush pen. Thanks to its incredibly flexible tip, you can fill in large swathes of colour as well as create individual designs with lots of detail.

Step 5

If you press down more firmly, you can make your strokes much broader. You can use the tip to add fine strokes or delicate touches.

Step 6

After you’ve returned from your trip, you can glue travel cards, entry tickets and the like in the relevant sections of your journal to produce a wonderful album as a memento.
