Personalized Journal

 

Gather together all the supplies you will need:
a composition book
paper of your choice
scissors
tape runner
Die cuts of your choice (I used the Animal Kingdom cartridge from cricut to make the cat and word meow)
stickers
ribbon
 
 
 
 
 
 
Other items you may want to have on hand:
Scrapbooking pens or sharpies
glue stick
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
First step:
Run your tape along each edge of the notebook and place an X in the middle
Be sure to stay on the right side of the black edge.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Second step:
Carefully place the paper you have chosen on the top of the composition book. Be sure to match all the edges.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Third Step:
Cut around the edges of the composition book to remove any extra paper hanging over the edges.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 This is what your project should look like so far.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Fourth step:
Run your tape down the edge of the black edge of the book. Place your ribbon along the edge and trim.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Fifth step:
Using your tape runner or glue stick glue any die cuts you have together as needed. If your die cuts are already together you just skip this step.

 Sixth step:
Glue or tape your die cuts to the front of the journal
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Last step:
Place the stickers on various pages of the journal for that special touch. And your done!
