a full year of creepy crawlies and things with wings (because they're creepy too).

Day 145: Handmade Dragonfly Mini Journal
using a bunch of Stampin' Up stamps, i created a pocket sized (3 x 4 inch) journal for my partner in the Itty Bitty CREEPY CRAWLY swap on Swap-bot.
i cut the paper to size, then stamped the plain blue cardstock cover in various shades of blue using all Stampin' pads. i colored in the dragonfly and ladybugs using the water pen and the same blue ink pads.
after the cover was finished, i used an awl to poke the holes in the pages and threaded some embroidery thread to create the binding.
i like to use these little journals when i travel. i keep track of itineraries, info, and write about everything on my travels. it's small enough to keep in your pocket and big enough to log a weekend trip.
