    Project by Adah Glenn of Los Angeles, Calif.

    Adah loves making things with her hands. Her work as a graphic designer keeps her in front of her computer a lot, but her handmade journals allow her to physically craft projects and incorporate her original art.

    Materials:

    8-1/2" x 11" vellum card stock
    8-1/2" x 11" vellum paper
    colored vellum paper
    mini brads
    string, ribbons, yarn
    embellishments
    manila tags
    photos/illustrations
    embossing marker
    embossing powder
    embossing heat tool

    Steps:

    1. Fold cover and interior paper in half. Punch two holes on the center fold.

    2. Stamp all paper and tags. Let dry.

    3. Adhere ribbon or string to the inside covers.

    4. Bind together primary interior pages to cover.

    5. Cut peak windows and add pockets to secondary interior pages.

    6. Trim off 1/4 inch around the border of secondary interior pages. Adhere to the primary interior pages on the outside edges only.

    7. Embellish tags and insert into pockets.

    8. Write "Day at the Beach" with embossing ink marker. Sprinkle on embossing powder and emboss with a heat tool.

    9. Adhere photos, text, and accents to cover and interior pages.
