Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator
Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀
I am taking part in the Share It Sunday Blog Hop. I am sharing what I have been working on all this month. Do please go and check out the other blogs in this hop once you have looked at my blog. I do love seeing what everyone has been up to :-)
I have made 2 mini autumn journals. I made one for a swap and the other will be up for sale. I have made them both spiral bound. Each page is 3" x 4" but the overall size with the cover and spiral is 4 1/4" x 4". The journal has 64 pages front and back, pockets, tags, envelopes, scanned vintage documents and real vintage book pages as well as beautiful Stampin' Up! paper and stamps.
I have been hoarding a lovely pack of Stampin' Up! DSP from years ago and this is the perfect project to use it on. I am also using stamps from the current catalogue as well as my favourite retired stamp sets. I love how the stamp pad ink matches the DSP used.

I have filmed the process and the tutorials are split into 3 parts.Part 1 - getting the paper ready and cut up for the journal - Video here :-) Part 2 - making the tags and decorating the pockets and pages and adding the binding - Video here :-) Part 3 - the flip through - video link below :-)
I will have a play list on my YouTube channel call Mini Autumn/Fall journal so you can find all the videos there.
