Hi Blog Friends!I have something new to share, something I learned how to make, and I am so excited. I’ve been wanting to make my own “book” Sketch/ journal/ what ever I want it to be book for a long time, but thought I would never find the time. So I searched high and low, and found this cool tutorial. The thing I love, is that I could make the journal to my specs, size and shape. (I’ll leave a link here for you to give a try, k) So for my first try, it wasn’t too time consuming, I just had to chunk out the time I spent on it.. I used a recycled cereal box (like the big boxes they sell at costco, cause it's heavier material) and 120 lbs. card stock paper (georgia pacific, bought at walmart)this way I could stamp on it too, not just draw or write. I think next time I will use a sketchpad like sea lemon used on her tutorial, because I also want a dedicated sketch book. So here is what I came up with:
And all the pages, I can’t wait to fill in the pages! When I showed my daughter how it turned out, she was like " oh mom, you're just so talented!" That totally made my day. She followed with "you think you can make me one too?" haa haa. Of course, I'm gonna make her one too! I would like to enter this in the Saturated Canary Blog Challenge and the theme is Fairytale. Isn’t the image a beauty? I colored the image with copics, and made a star like snowish background. The rose binder part, is actually a pretty hair tie that I love but never wear. So I hope you liked my idea and are inspired to maybe give book binding a try, I think I'm hooked ;) Till next time friends ~ Angela
