Lisa M. here with a colorful journal to help keep you on track. It can be personalized to meet your needs. Possible uses for this journal could be: a bullet journal; an art journal; or to keep track of kids’ activities.
I started with a simple composition notebook that is readily available this time of year.
1. I colored 2-12″ pieces of white Sheer Organza Ribbon a rainbow of colors with my Copic markers. 2. I attached a piece to the front and back with Score-Tape. 3. I attached a 6″ piece of white Sheer Organza Ribbon to the back. I placed an ink pen on the ribbon. 4. Then I wrapped the ribbon around the pen and attach the ribbon with more Score-Tape.
6. These were attached to the front and back of the notebook. I added a strip of washi tape for color on both the front and back.
7. For the inside covers, I cut more Esse Pearl Smooth Latte Cardstock into 2 pieces of 6 3/4″ x 9 3/4″ and 2 pieces 3 1/2 ” x 9 3/4″.
8. I attached the larger piece on the inside cover (not quite to the binding) .
9. I added a strip of washi tape to the long edge of the smaller piece (this will be the edge of the pocket and makes it easier to see). 10. I used Score Tape on 3 edges of the strip and attached it to the outer edge of the inside cover.
11. I scored it at 5″, 5 1/2″, and 6″ and folded it on the scored lines. This gives the pocket room to expand.
12. I cut a piece to 8 1/2″ x by 4 1/2″. I scored the 4 1/2″ at 1 1/2″, 2″ and 2 1/2″ and folded on the scored lines. This will become the pocket flap.
13. I attached the flap (use the 1 1/2″ section) to the 8 1/2″ edge of the pocket. I left about 1/2″ between the scored line and the top of the pocket.
14. I cut 2 pieces 1 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ and scored them at 1/2″, 3/4″, and 1 1/4″. These will be the sides of the pocket.
15. I attached these strips to the sides of the the pocket, keeping them even at the top edges.
16. To close the pocket I punched 4 – 1″ circles. In two of the circles I punched a small hole.
17. I used a brad to attach the circle with the hole to the center front of the flap and then pocket.
