I’ll admit I love journals of any kind. If I have time I like to create mixed media journals, but more often than not I just can’t find the time to sit and play. That’s what I love about my Write Your Story journal. By using the amazing patterned papers and paper embellishments from Blank Page Muse, I created my journal in less than an hour! I hope you give it a try. Enjoy! Lisa~
Supplies for Write Your Story Journal
Check out the full list of supplies at the end of this post.
Steps One, Two, Three:
Cut two pieces of chipboard 6″ x 6″ and ink the edges with Wild Lilac inkpad. Adhere the patterned papers to the front and back of the chipboard. Cut a piece of patterned paper 1″ x 6″ and adhere to the front cover as shown.
Steps Four, Five, Six:
Stamp the flower and dragonfly onto white cardstock with Wild Lilac and Powder Blue. Cut the images out. Cut a piece of white and purple mulberry paper a little larger that the paper embellishment (see finished project photo). Add a small amount of water to wet the edges of the papers and gently tear. Adhere the ribbons to the inside of the journal as shown.
Steps Seven, Eight, Nine:
Cut sheets of printer paper 5 1/2″ x 11″ and fold in half. Adhere the papers together in an accordion fold. Adhere the last piece to the back of the journal. Cut white cardstock 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and adhere to other side. To finish, adhere a piece of purple ribbon where the two patterned papers meet on front cover. Adhere beaded trim to the dragonfly and then adhere the rest of the paper embellishments as shown in the finished project photo.
