Hello! Aga here.
Today, I have for you an easy tutorial on how to make a cover for your journal out of an old book’s cover. Enjoy!

I enjoy working and expressing myself in journals.
For this project, I used two papers from the Compose Your Life collection, which I thoroughly enjoyed working on with Christine.
With its crackles, “Be Original” is perfect as as a background; “Beautiful Life” is ready to be coloured in and cut by you so great to use to build up layers of embellishments.

At first sight you might think that the ‘Be Original’ paper will be tricky to work with… you couldn’t be more mistaken 🙂 the gorgeous crackles will add interest to any project! Add to it any colour of your choice and … it doesn’t get much better than that!
When it comes to “Beautiful Life” – it’s my favourite one! Why? Because you can go crazy with colours and media on it and it can take anything! You can cut out the elements and use as they are or add colour and completely change the way they look.
I hope that you’ll find this tutorial interesting!

So remember – be brave and don’t be afraid to experiment!
Big hugs to everyone!
– Aga –
