Shakespearean mini journal

 

Hello lovelies, hope you are keeping well! Today I am sharing a Shakespearean theme mini journal that I have created. 

To start, I took three brown self seal envelopes and cut them down to 4.5 inches in width and 4 and one quarter inches in height. But, you can easily adjust to whatever size that you'd like. I did put some extra glue on the self seal strip using just a standard glue stick. 

Next, using vintage photo distress ink I distressed all edges of these beautiful papers that I have used. 

watercolour coffee glitter digital papers

dirty old lace digital papers

I have also used these stunning free images from Gecko Galz. A fussy cut butterfly and a Shakespeare  journal quote.

For this page I have used: 

sepia papers

coffee and script papers

For these pages I have used:

old sheet music papers

To finish my mini journal I used a cropodile to punch two holes into the side panel. I threaded through some vintage lace, then tied with a bow to secure the pages together. 

I really hope that I have inspired you to create your own vintage mini journal!
