Small Journal with Leather

Hello everyone!

I hope you're having a crafty day.

Today I'm sharing a little journal I made

with y'all.

This little gem measures 3.5"x5.5"

and I'm just loving it.

I have some pieces of leather in my stash and

thought I'd give embossing them a try.
I ran the leather through my Cuttlebug

in an embossing folder and it worked

beautifully.  I will be doing more of this

for future projects.  I love this technique.

All the signatures are hand sewn and

then glued into the cover, which is also 

hand made.

For the pages, I have a file that I created

that prints lines on paper, I used different

colors of paper, printed them and cut them

to the size I needed.

The leather piece was glued to the front

of the journal with 

Beacon 3 in 1 glue.

Here is the back of the journal.

This coloring is actually closest to the 

real color of the paper I used.

I'm very pleased with how this journal

turned out.  Now my only problem is,

who will I gift it to?

 

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you have been inspired in some way.

Come again soon,

until then,

try a new technique.
