Welcome to the blog everyone!! It’s Shari here with a twist on an art journal idea. I’ve created a mini book that can be used as a travel journal or even a multi page card.
I’ve discovered this beautiful Shades of Love paper from Moda Scraps that goes really well with the stamps and dies for each page on my book.
I’ve done a little coloring with PrismaColor pencils.
I used a die cut sentiment mounted onto a circle and adorned with flowers.
Then I backed a word die cut tag with pattern papers.
Also, I cut strips of papers to create an interesting arrangement.
And finally, I added a simple die cut flower with a sentiment strip.
I hope I’ve sparked some inspiration to get you going on a simple mini journal. Be sure to check out the video below to see how this all comes together!
Oh wow you’ve certainly sparked some inspiration in me. I’ve never done a journal before but I’m now wondering why. I’m going to do one 100% now thanks to your East to follow tutorials.
Thankyou so much. ?
Thank you Shari. I had forgotten how to create this little book and this is beautiful. My friend needs some encouragement and a version of this might be the very thing. I have a beautiful little paper pad given to me recently and think it will work as well. I do love the colors in yours, however!
Absolutely awesome Shari. I love this mini journal. I watched the video and thought of making one for a good friend with some awesome quotes in it.
Thank you so much for always be such a great inspiration for me.
This is a great project! Thanks for highlighting those papers; they are beautiful and go so well with the pastel flowers you added. Thanks for sharing!
Lovely idea for a special little card for someone! The folding threw me for a loop, even watching the video several times but I managed to figure it out finally. Can’t wait to make some of these now.
