Monogram journal

This was sooooo easy to make with my birthday Bind-it-All. As you can see I used my favourite colour – Old Olive.

You know, it’s actually really, really hard to type with a cat lying across your hand.

But ploughing on... this is a 4”x6” book/journal/call it whatever you like. I made the inner pages using index cards – it’s so simple I must remember to go and buy loads of packs of index cards! I covered the two covered (which were just chipboard) with this lovely Haiku paper, then added the ribbon and floral motif. This is made from a die-cut bloom (which are lovely and textured), with a Chocolate Chip scallop on top, then the monogram (this one’s for me to keep, evidently!)

Next I covered the insides with cardstock. I can’t remember what colour I used – Old Olive or Chocolate Chip – and I can’t go and check because there’s a cat lying across my hand. Yes, still.
