Day 145: Handmade Dragonfly Mini Journal

Itty Bitty CREEPY CRAWLY

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.
