Christmas Journal Example

I have started making my Christmas Journal today and so far am really pleased with how it is going. Thought I would share some pictures so you can see how I have used some of the products from the Christmas Kits.

First I started by creating some of my own transparency sheets. These 2 were done very simply by stamping onto the acetate using acrylic paint.

I also made some other sheets 1 where I stamped the snowflakes in white just down one edge, 1 where I added some paper cut with some decorative edged scissors down one edge and the last one I added a fabric strip and piece of ribbon (as seen below)

For my covers I used the Teresa Collins Brackets. All I did to add a bit more interest was create a frame using chipboard and cover with some of the paper from the Echo Park Everybody Loves Christmas range. I added a sticker from the same range to the middle of the frame and then added some off-cuts of ribbon to the edge. I also plan on using some alphas to put the date under the frame. I have bound my book using some 2" steel binder rings instead of the ones that came with the covers as these are bigger!

For the inside of my Journal I have used a range of different papers, cardstock etc. The Elle's Studio Cardstock that comes in the kit is the perfect size for this album, you can see the red sheet behind the bingo card. I have randomly spread the cardstock, bingo cards and transparencies throughout the book.

I am planning on using the Elle's Studio Mix & Match Vintage Numbers throughout my journal along with the small Elle's Studio papers to create some small backgrounds to mount the numbers onto.

I expect I will use the Echo Park papers to mount onto the cardstock pages as I go through December and other Elle's Studio Tages for Journaling. I also love creating my own embellishments so will be using the text papers and fabric for this to make my journal even more unique, lets just hope that I am able to keep up this year!

Hope you have enjoyed looking at my Journal and it has helped to inspire you/give you ideas. All our Christmas products and kits are available here including many of the items I have used. If you have created a Christmas Journal using any of our products/kits then we would love to see what you have done!

Thanks for stopping by,
