Club Scrap Shibori Linky Party

Welcome to the Club Scrap Linky Party

sharing with you projects with the

April Shibori kit.

My project this month is a travel journal

made into a diary.

For this I cut a piece of the white paper 8.5 x 11 inch

and folded it with a 1/2 inch book back.

Then i used some of the printed paper to cover

the front and the back. I haven't really finished

the album, because I think that happens along

the way using it, but this is sort of the base.

Here you see all of the cover.

On the back I made a whole in the center

and i added some elastic ribbon as a closure.

For adding the pages I made some holes in

the bookback with eyelets and added more

elastic siver ribbon.

Here a view of the inside:

pocket on the left, the stamped pages.

Here a close up on the pocket, that I made with the

stencil from the kit.

I added white gesso over the blue paper.

Next I added blue and brown ink

and let it drie completely.

Inside the pocket I added one of the cut aparts from the kit

for some journaling. Now I am going to show you how 

i made the diary pages.

More use of the stencil, for I used it to decorate all

the inside pages. For this I used some regular copy paper

and blue and brown ink.

After the stenceling I used the Shibori rubber stamps

to make spaces for the days of the week.

With a black pen I wrote the days of the week.

The left part is done and the right part I leave for

some new ideas.

Here some finished pages with a little more stamping.

This is the back page. In the middle you see the

knot of the elastic silver ribbon from the closure.

Again use of the stencil and also a sentiment from the

cut apart. The border is a piece of washi tape

that also came with this kit.

I hope you also look on the

  Club Scrap Blog

to see all the other wonderful artwork.

Thanks for looking at my project

and have a creative day!
