The Tide Keepers Journal
Record the tides. Chase the horizon. Keep the stories.
 
Set sail into a world of weathered harbours, storm-worn lighthouses and stories carried on the tide with The Tide Keepers Journal, a substantial journalling and cardmaking collection from Pearlywinks.
 
Rich in atmosphere and packed with beautifully coordinated artwork, this collection has been inspired by old harbour offices, lighthouse keepers’ logbooks, faded navigation charts and the timeless character of life beside the sea. Deep navy blues, sea-worn teal, weathered ivory, rust red and aged brass run throughout the collection, giving every element the appearance of something lovingly preserved from a maritime archive.
 
At the heart of the pack are dramatic lighthouse and harbour scenes, traditional fishing boats, lantern-lit quays, rocky coastlines, winding coastal paths and quiet keeper’s rooms.
 
These sit alongside an enormous selection of coordinating scene-building elements, nautical objects and decorative pieces including anchors, ropes, compasses, lanterns, maps, gulls, boats, harbour buildings, signs, weathered doors, windows, rocks, waves and shoreline details.
 
For journal makers, there is plenty to explore. You’ll find dedicated journal pages, log sheets, observation pages, record sheets, photo and memory layouts, tide and weather pages, tags, bookmarks, pockets, envelopes, tuck-ins, mats, layering panels and an extensive collection of vintage-style ephemera. Tickets, harbour passes, postage pieces, journal cards, labels, seals and coastal records make it easy to create layered pages that look as though they have been gathered over a lifetime by the sea.
 
The collection works equally beautifully for cardmaking. There are framed toppers, card inserts, focal artwork, sentiments, quotes and text-free frames ready to personalise for your own occasions. From birthdays and friendship cards to encouragement, remembrance, travel and masculine makes, the collection has deliberately been designed to go far beyond one particular occasion.
 
A generous range of sentiments and quotes allows you to finish your projects in different ways, with wording such as Chase the Horizon, Safe Travels, A Lifetime of Adventures, One Wave at a Time, Hold Fast, Guided by the Light and many more. There are also blank plaques, ribbons and frames for adding your own wording inside Atelier or another crafting programme.
 
For even more creative flexibility, the pack includes coordinating alphabets and numbers, clean black-line digi stamps for colouring, stencil designs, and smaller craft formats ideal for ATCs, inchies, twinchies and decorative journal embellishments.

The Tide Keepers Journal is not simply a collection of nautical imagery; it has been designed to feel like a story already waiting to be continued — one of distant lights, working harbours, weathered maps, treasured memories and adventures still waiting
beyond the horizon.
 
A journey by the sea. Captured in paper. Kept in your heart.
