Now that this fun project has been received, I can share the video and not spoil the surprise!!
If you're having trouble viewing the video here on my blog, check it out on my YouTube channel.
Here are some detail photos of the journal.
The journal measures 5.5" x 6" and is bound together with a Rubicoil Binding Machine and a 14mm coil. I used various Spellbinders leaf dies as well as a couple EK Success punches for all of the leaves.
The banners were made with the Banners #2 stamp/die set, from Sizzix. The buttons (except the one of the cover) are from The Stamps of Life. I liked the matte finish, and they were the perfect size!
The patterned papers are from the Happy Camper 6x6 pad, from Echo Park. I used various colors and brands of cardstock for the folio pages. The white paper is Fabriano Medioevalis cards and small sheets.
I loved creating the pocket pages using various printed papers and leaves.
I used lots of differnent kinds of papers in the journal to add interest and places for her to clip little notes, photos, or lists. I used this die cut shape several times as a colorful divider between sections. The die is from the Majestic #2 Labels set, from Sizzix.
I thought the pages looked fun, all fanned out.
And the edges of the papers were all so different and interesting!
The leaf cluster on the front is full of color and texture!
This was a super fun project to make! *Smooches!*
