Botanical Theme Folio - Multi Foldout/Flip Flap Journal


I created this 5 x 7 inch Multi Foldout Folio Journal by following a tutorial for the basic structure on Liz The Paper Project (Jan 10, 2021) on YouTube. I altered mine slightly. I used solid color cardstock for my base. To decorate my journal and create Journaling Cards I used three Stamperia Scrapbook Pads; Hortensia, Shabby Rose & House of Roses Botanical.

Wild Blackberries

 

The Bramble Bush ( Rubus Alleghaniensis) that bloomed in late spring is now producing blackberries. I'm sure they'll disappear once fully ripe. It's a source of food for the birds, deer and squirrels and the occasional black bear that saunters through our back yard.

I didn't get a photo of the pretty blooms this year, but if interested you can see them in my post from last spring here.

Accordion Hinge Journal - 'Imagine'


This is a chunky little 8 Hinge Album that measures 4 x 6 inches and 1.5 in thick. To create this album I followed the tutorial on 'Scrap and Coffee' (Accordion Binding Mini Album) to build the basic structure. I used black cardstock for the pages and brown file folders for the hinges and tabs. To decorate I used asst'd 'Recollections' colored textured cardstock papers from a 12 x 12 pad. The decorative papers I used were from 'Stamperia-Imagine' 8x8 scrapbook pad and 'Stamperia-Spring Botanic' 12 x 12 scrapbook pad. An easy no sew hinge binding album, allows you to re-arrange and swap out pages.
