For years I’ve wished for a journal/planner that could hold all the different notebooks and information for my daily life in one place – after searching and searching and not finding just the right thing, I decided to create my own from a vintage book. Using the binding system of the hugely popular Midori Traveler’s Notebook, I created a book that is exactly what I’ve always wanted. From there my mind started whirling with the possibilities for using this idea to make books for anything and everything! The possibilities are endless once you learn the techniques to make this book.

For this workshop, you will need to bring your own book – it can either be a book with a cover that you love or not – you can always paint and decorate over a less appealing cover. Your hardcover book will need to have a cloth spine like the books in the photo of my samples that is in fairly good condition, attached to the front and back cover – the inside pages will all be removed, so they do not need to be in good condition. For the supplies you will receive in your class kit, your book needs to be at least 5” x 8.25” (my Being a Friend book in the workshop photo is 6” x 9”) so that we can use a Moleskine large Cahier notebook in it. The binding should be at least ½” wide.
Your workshop kit will contain papers to make pages and pockets and a “dashboard” along with fun accessories and the all the supplies to bind your “Debby-dori.”
Student supply list: please bring the following items to the workshop… 12” paper trimmer, scissors, ruler, scoring tool, craft knife, liquid “tacky” style white glue, strong tape adhesive about ¼” width, Crop a Dile punch, the book you will use to make your journal - don't worry if you can't find the exact book that you want - bring any book and learn the techniques and when you find just the right thing, you will know how to make it.

It is pink and pretty and the perfect place to keep your favorite photos and record the special memories of your travels and adventures at home or afar. We will take an empty A5 size planner (5.5 x 8.5”) and make it into a modern memory book filled with page protectors, folded pages, and pockets, using techniques that you can use in your other mini album and paper craft projects.The stunning new Carta Bella Let’s Travel paper collection and Maggie Holmes Sunny Days embellishments are the perfect compliment to the pale pink patent leather A5 notebook by Webster’s Pages.  All kits come with directions with color photos.

Traveler's notebooks are the latest trend in the scrapbook world, but they aren't just for travel! We will fill a full size Webster’s Pages Traveler’s Notebook with a beautiful collection of papers and embellishments from Prima, Authentique, and Tim Holtz. This neutral scrapbook (not too feminine or masculine) will be the perfect place for documenting your family, friends, or just a beautiful life. We will make four notebooks and two mini books with lots of pockets and interactive page ideas for your photos and memorabilia. You will be able to choose a paper doll for the cover to make your book more masculine or feminine.

Summer is just around the corner and sunshine is on its way! The new Prima chipboard album will be the foundation of our book with a different "mini album" on every page so you can include lots and lots of photos - more than you would expect to in a chipboard album. We'll use the sixteen sheets of Crate Paper, My Mind's Eye, and Simple Stories papers and embellishments to build our books with die cuts, stickers, a full pack of four coordinating washi tapes, ribbons, and Tim Holtz Ideology trinkets. You'll be able to use the embellishments to make the album suitable for many occasions and themes, whether your summer activities, a beach vacation, or any fun photos of sunny days.  All kits come with directions with color photos.
