Andrea Budjack has a monstery fun wall hanging...frame these, make ones for a kids bathroom, room...and best yet...our adhesives are Kid Friendly too!
Photo-a-day-journal
GlueArts Designer: Ania Lexander
GlueArts Supplies:
Other: Various left over paper - mostly Pink Paislee, Hambly Screenprints, Elle's Studio vintage mix & match numbers, sewing machine,corner punch, Fiskars border punch, twine from the twinery, butterflychipboard from Sassafras, canvas butterfly from Maya Road, number stamps (used on the canvas butterfly) from Craft Origine, fabric brad from Crate Paper, gems from Prima
You know it's been popular w/these month long photo-a-day-challenges, issuing a challenge for you to take photo of every day for a month. Well, I figured I'd make a premade journalbook w/my own prompts for my young teenager niece who loves to take photos...
First - gather various scraps which'll match somewhat.
Doesn't matter that they won't be the same size - it's just cool.
Fold them together w/a bonefolder - you don't even need to make sure they are folded in the middle - one page can just as well be longer than the other. Use the border punch or the corner punch on some of the pages.
Carefully sew in the middle of the pages (or punch holes & thread some twine to hold the pages together).
I used Elle's Studio's Vintage Mix & Match numbers to add numbers to the pages. Some of the tags were fairly large, so I just added adhesive to the corner edges so that my niece will be able to lift the tags some to tuck her images in behind the number-tags. For some of the smaller number tags I just used the extreme adhesive squares - either large or small ones depending on the size of the tags.

As you can see I added transparencies to some of the pages - she can do whatever she'll like with them - add images or just leave them blank so they'll act like pretty empty pages in between.
