Handmade sketchbook using Craft Consortium Winter Woodland papers

Hello and welcome to my latest blog post. I am Katrina, The Fruit Pixies design elf.   I love my Art Journaling and needed a small journal or sketchbook for when I want to journal in front of the TV. Of course I could of bought myself one but it is much more fun to make one yourself!
I decided to cover my hand made Sketch book with the beautiful Craft Consortium Winter Woodland papers and could not resist adding the sweet squirrel, one of the collage pieces you also get with the papers, to the front.
 
For the pages of the sketch book I used watercolour paper which I folded into 3 polios and then stitched them to a sort of false spine.
 
I then made the cover out of stiff card and covered that with the beautiful Craft Consortium Winter Woodland papers.
 
The spine of my watercolour paper pages was then glued on to the spine of the cover.
 
Once it was all dry it was ready to go!
 
If you have any questions about the making of my journal you can ask here or you can contact me through out facebook page.

I hope you enjoyed reading my post and will come back very soon to see what else I get up to with the beautiful things The Fruit Pixie sells.                                              Until then keep warm and safe, love Katrina
