These little mini scrap journals are the perfect way to use up your paper scraps. The album featured is 3 x 5 in size (you could make your album larger) and has a great mixture of patterns, ephemera and beautiful Paper Whimsy faces. They make perfect little “end of the year” school gifts for teachers, assistants and graduations. They can be personalized too!
Technique:
(1) Cut various pieces of pattern paper and old ledger papers 3 x 5 size.
(2) Punch borders with scallop punches, or cut with decorative scissors to add visual interest to the journal.
(3) Add images (I used all sorts of beautiful faces), ephemera, word art, butterflies and bling.
(4) Bind with spiral binding, eyelets, book clips/rings, or pretty ribbon.

Lovely journal Nancy – it really makes me want to create one of these with all the great images and embellishments you’ve shown. What a super gift it would make. Thanks so much.
Great job on the journal and the video Nancy! It was great to hear your voice again 😉
Oh Nancy this is the bomb! Luv Luv Luv this idea, who doesn’t have paper scraps, and cut out images from PW that didn’t get used. Love the size of this the most. Great idea Nancy and I loved the video. On my to do list for sure!
This is just precious..I’ve got to do this.
I love the way you put such whimsical things together. You are an inspiration.
I just love this sweet little book! I want to make one now!
what a treat to hear your voice sweet Nancy!! Excellent journal and video!!xoxo Cat
Such a beautiful book! Can you tell me where the bird and bird houses came from. Not sure if it is a digi sheet or stamps.
Thanks so much,
