MAKE IT TIP:
Share your
voice.
Heartfelt journaling
might not come naturally, and
you might not think you’re
an incredible writer, but your
audience (in this case my son)
will appreciate hearing YOU
in the words that you share.
MAKE IT TIP:
Add depth
and details.
Add depth and
interest to your journaling
strips by distressing the
edges and add layers and
texture with die cuts leaves
and bits of twine to give your
mini album a homey feel.
MAKE IT TIP:
Add interactive
elements.
I created an
accordion fold out for one
page of my album. I did this
by cutting out an entire strip
of journaling cards from
patterned paper. I folded the
strip as an accordion and then
added photos, stickers, and
embellishments to the fold out.
MAKE IT TIP:
Stretch your
supplies.
While this collection
from Echo Park has lots of
coordinating embellishments
you can purchase and add to
the album, I also used fussy
cut images from the patterned
paper to create my own unique
embellishments.
