DIY Art Journal for 2012 | Orla Kiely Sketchbook Turned Mini Journal


 

As you will be able to see from the dodgey instagram image below - I had an A4 Orla Kiely Sketchbook for about 2 years because it was a4 size and I don't really like using that large size so it lay dormant... until I realised it wouldn't be a terrible thing if I chopped it up and made it into some usable! 




 




This is the sketchbook in its natural A4 format! I just chopped it in half and punched the holes for binder rings. I also secured the holes with eyelets. 


This is my inside cover a first page from the first week of January. I did quite a lot of journalling in January.. I may need to get a small binder to secure things. For march onwards I will need to start another. The calendar and image here on the inside cover is from Debee Ruiz inspire lovely shop. The 33 ways to stay creative is something I blogged about at the start of the year also. ^_^





I just wrote some little goals on a post -it - the illustrated post it was from korea. I was lucky that the little washi tapes I got matched delightfully well. 
The happy birthday page is just some black circle stickers and i stuck the journalling inside a glassine bag. 



I missed a page when I was shooting! The page of writing is some practice I had done for the letter lab class. The following was an envelope I received one of my super cute MT Washi Tape zines in from Jenna Templeton which I also blogged about ^_^


I felt like I should definitely journal about how the house was heated in winter - mostly with candles ^_^


I got a lovely package of zines and ephemera from Natty Malik on etsy with a fabulous business card and pretty packaging (I highly recommend the zines and typography ebook) so I blogged about it! And also... the shoes from the h&m catalogue.. of which I bought several. This page was inspired by amy tangerine ^_^
