A FUN LITTLE JOURNAL


A FUN LITTLE JOURNAL

*************

Hello my crafty friends J

I’ve been really busy of late, making lots of journals among other goodies, (jewellery, cards, booklets, gift tags and more).  I’ve been trying to build up my stock, so that I have enough for a craft fair. 

Pete, (my husband) has built a staging unit, which I think will work well.  He’s a clever old stick!!!




 

I thought I would share the process, of one of the smaller journals, with you guys.

I started as per usual with some recycled card (possibly from a wine crate???!!!), you might see a theme develop if you follow my blog ;)

 

I covered this with some funky handmade paper that I acquired in Hobbycraft.

 
 
And then backed it with some matching papers from my stash.
 


I made a little pocket, which I added to the inside of the front cover.
 
 


I added some lace and bling detail to the front of my little journal.
 


 

I used 120gsm paper for the pages.  I have kept to just plain white simple pages in this book.  Then grabbed my Cinch (which I love by the way!)  But you could bind these pages with book rings, which would be very inexpensive, and just as effective.
 



And voila, here is the finished journal.  Hope you enjoyed.  Thanks for stopping by.
 






 

Ta ta for now

Love Jane J xxx
