Mini Nature Journal

Today, I thought I'd show you another one of my mini junk journals. If you don't already know, I absolutely love mini journals and making them. This one has a nature theme. I used pages from several old gardening books and magazines to make this journal. 

It has 4 signatures with about 20 pages in each. It's 8.5cm or 3 1/4" wide by 10.5cm or 41/4" tall with a hard spine that measures 5.5cm or 2'' wide.

Let's have a look inside, shall we?

The journal cover below, is made from a collage of nature-themed papers. The hidden spine is fabric ribbo with a leaf ribbon glued over the top. There is a large butterfly cutout on the front as well as a ticket with a clock. The Journal title is mounted on a strip of paper measuring tape.

A hidden tuck spot.

The pages have lots of pretty lace edging.

Field Notes Booklet

This was a fun little journal to make. 

Thanks for visiting and I'll see you again soon. Have a happy and creative day everyone.

Bunny Secrets Mini Junk Journal Flip Through

Do you still love flipping through children's books and reliving the magical stories you heard from your childhood? A couple of my all-time favourites are Cinderella and Snow White. 

Recently, I picked up a bundle of children's fairytale books from my local charity shop - the ones I found were full of beautifully illustrated pages and great children's stories. 

I had a lot of fun using them to make some of my latest mini journals.

In today's video I'm going to show you through one of my mini journals that I make with a bunny theme that I got from one of the children's books I bought on bunny tales.
