Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it. This week as part of my Junk Journal series I am making my first December Daily journal. This is a small A6 size journal that I intend to write in all through December. I didn't want to make it too big so that it didn't overwhelm me. I really like making this little journal, it was quite quick to put together probably because there is not much embellishment. I intend on adding things as I write in it. I printed off all the Christmas freebie digitals I have accumulated over the last few months from Artymaze, Tracie Fox, Carol Tinson & Scrapbooking With Me Crafts.
Measurements & Materials
- I cut the digital print outs in half and backed them onto some very old flip chart paper that I have had for about 20-25 years so it has aged really nicely
- Each page was folded in half and I arranged them in the order I wanted
- I chose to make 2 signatures
- I stuck numbers 1-31 on each page, I got these from a free download from Scrapbooking With Me Crafts, I really like them
- I have decided not to sew the signatures yet because I may want to add things between the pages
- I have lots of tags and journalling spots printed to use once I start filling in my daily journal
- I made a pocket on the inside of the cover
- I measured the width and added 1" to this
- I decided on how deep I wanted the pocket and added 1/2"
- I scored 1/2' on 3 sides
- I cut the corners off and applied glue to the flaps and stuck to the page
- I like pockets done like this because you can put things in them that is the full width
- I used scrapbook paper on the inside of the cover which I glued down after reinforcing the spine with some fabric
- I stuck some lovely ribbon around the book and added the decoration on top of it
- I used cheese cloth on the spine because I still wanted to see the gold lettering
- I added digitals to the front and back
- I may add a title later
- I finished it off with some old braid
- Finally I have used some burlap string to tie the signatures to the cover in a travellers notebook style
- I may change this but for now I like it
You can see how I made this in the tutorial :-)
