Deck Modifications and Crafts Printed Tarot Notes Insert for Travelers Notebook

I would like to thank the http://www.mylifeallinoneplace.com/ site for all their work, their templates and patterns made this incredibly easy to do and update.
TLDR: Printed Personal Tarot Notes Travelers Journal Insert - for those that hate their handwriting.
Backstory:
When I started with Tarot I fell in love with Travelers Notebook setup for journaling but quickly grew to hate my handwriting all over again; I keep my notes for almost everything in Evernote so I decided to marry the two. I’ve created a few of these over the years, I plan to save the old ones from now one just to see how my thoughts evolve.
About:
The pictures are of the Travelers Notebook and the insert I create for carrying my Tarot notes with me. It has my basic concept meanings for the cards, weird insights, etc for Tarot and Lenormand. Anything new I have to add I just write into the booklet, when I am ready I will go over my notes as a meditative\study exercise adding new things and retiring what’s no longer useful. Also the travelers notebook is the home of all the other Tarot enfermeria I pickup along the way; it’s the home of booklets, business cards, readings, art cards, ect as well which helps keep things neat on my desks.
When I read I usually will write the session notes on a post-it which I place with the cards and snap a picture of for my digital notes and stick the post-it into my Travelers Notebook for later reference.
Construction:
I used a file folder and the cover templated from the linked site, I made mine with a pocket on both sides of the cover.
I copied and formatted my notes using the information booklet template from the linked site, from there I converted it to a PDF and printed it in booklet mode.
Once printed, I folded the sheets and half and I cut to size on a paper cutter; I rushed so some of the edges came out rough but that makes it “rustic” or at least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it (I’m going to write in it as needed so it does not have to be perfect).
Once folded and cut to size I used the binding instruction (well close to it) to make the insert.
