In keeping with the ocean theme, I used some Lavinia stamps to add some more sea life on the back…
… and used mermaid fabric to cover the inside of the journal cover!
I custom made the four signatures. They include watercolor paper and sketch paper.
The journal is very easy to bind. The die punches holes in the spine when you cut it out and I just thread elastic through to create the binding. The signatures slip under the elastic.
Thanks for stopping by! Below is a list of supplies I used. Be sure to check out the Topflight Stamps blog for more inspiration. There is always something fun to see there! Have a great week. =)
I am also adding this journal to the October Mini Album Makers Challenge.
