Treasure Box Nature Journal Part 2!

Hello again! This month on Eileen Hull's blog the Teams are creating Nature Journals to share with you all. Last week I shared Part 1 of my Treasure Box Die project and I'm back this week with a look at the mini accordion fold journal that fits into the lid. 

Untie the ribbons and the mini journal pops right out:

Then it unfolds into one long stamped collage. I had quite the stack of Tim Holtz stamps and inks spread all over the place as I was making the insides!

I used the same patterned paper I lined the drawer with for the back cover.

The construction of the journal was easy. I first used the 'swipe and smoosh' technique with Antique Linen Spray Stain on my craft mat to lay down some base texture and distressing on the cardstock for the pages. Then I cut strips 4.5" x 11" out of each page.

I scored the folds at 2.75" intervals. Before folding I did all my stamping and inking.

I joined the paper strip sections together with Tissue Tape on both sides of the seam. Also, I glued it down with Collage Medium for extra strength. Once the whole strip was done, I folded it up into an accordion and attached the covers. 

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to keep an eye on Eileen's blog for more inspiration from the Educator and Inspiration Teams.
