Journaling Mini book

Hello Pebbles’ fans! It’s Eva Pizarro with you today, bringing you a quick tutorial for a Journaling Mini Book.

One of the goals I set myself every year is to keep a journal. I try to do my best but after the first weeks I give up, it is hard to create a habit! Most of the time what happens is that I think I don’t have interesting stories to write about, that’s why I created this little mini book with 52 journaling prompts, one for each week of the year.

To create the mini book just use your own prompts or download this file. If you use my file print it in A4 paper (or adapt it to Letter) and cut it in 4 pages. (I used journaling prompts I found on this list and this one)

To make the covers use cardboard and cover the border with washi tape. (You can see how I used a similar technique to decorate fridge magnets here)

Embellish your front and back cover with some letters and die cuts. You could also add an elastic to your back cover to keep the journal closed.

Use your Cinch to bind everything.

Do you love mini books? I made a Gratitude Journal a couple of years ago and it was very uplifting going back and reading everything I wrote.

Gratitude Journal

Hi everyone! I’m Eva Pizarro and today I’m sharing a cute journal made with the Home + Made line (along with some free printables) to help us record the thing we are grateful for.

I came across gratitude journals a few years ago and thought it was a great idea! This one is fairly small so you don’t need to spend a lot of time doing it, just a simple phrase or a single word a day can help you be more grateful and aware of all the wonderful things you have.

To do the journal you will need two pieces of cardboard of approximately 3 x 6 inches. Cover the cardboard with a bigger piece of paper leavening an inch on every side. Bend all the sides and glue the 4 corners in 45 degrees.

Glue the four sides and glue anoter piece of paper on top to cover everything.

Cut 13 papers 3 x 6 from the Home + Made line. Create a journal template or download the printables I made (you can find them at the bottom of the post) and print them. Glue these in the journal pages.

Place two eyelets on the back cover and one of each corner of the covers. The two eyelets in the back will allow you to pass a ribbon to close the journal.

Embellish the cover, assemble all the pages and you are done!

You can do one for yourself and maybe give one as a gift!
Hope you like it!

Journal Card Mini Book

We’ve had such fun sharing an array of fun ways to use journal cards this week. If you’re still not sure how you’d use them though, today’s journal card mini book by Designer Marjan Pel will definitely win you over!

Journal Card Projects
The new line “Special Delivery Boy” is perfect for a mini book.

I used the 6×6 paper pad for the base and adhered 2 sheets of paper for the inner pages and 3 sheets of paper for a more sturdy cover.

BUT, it was the journaling cards that came in quite handy. I used them as an embellishment and for the journaling.

I adhered at least 2 journaling cards to each double spread. Some of the cards work as an hidden journaling behind the photo or patterned paper.

I embellished the pages with lots of coordinating stickers, die-cuts, photo overlays and the cute paper clips.

To give this mini book a more personal note I wrote some sentiments like “sweet”, “cute” or “you are loved” with a brush and Mr. Huey’s Misting Spray in navy on 4×4 sized patterned paper.
