April 12, 2023 Journal Folder

It's going to be a hot one today.  Well, hotter than we have had for a long time...mid 80's.  A bit too early for those temperatures and they are forecasted for the rest of the week.

I would prefer a bit cooler days for a couple of weeks at least.  In the mid 70's!  

Today I want to get the patio put together.  The landlord is painting the outside of the house this spring so I won't be planting any flowers in the back garden, but I do want to have a small container garden eventually.

Today is craft day and I want to share a journal folder I am making for a friend.  I used about half of a regular folder as the base.  Here's the picture of the folder closed.  I need to add some ribbon so the folder can be securely closed...


And here is the first opening with two pockets.  The pocket on the left has a tag holder.  There are to places for tags on the inside (This is the only element I have yet to finish!).  The pocket on the right is a small notebook.


And here is the folder completely open.  There are four pockets.  Each pocket has a different journaling element.  The outside right element is a folded journal card.  The inside right element is a waterfall journaling notebook.  The outside left element is a regular journaling card with journaling on the back side.  The inside left element is a folded tag holder with three tags.





These are not hard to make...cut and paste.  I mostly either purchase digitally printed papers and ephemera from Etsy (Very inexpensive.) or find it free online.  Note:  There's a lot of free journaling pages to download.

That's it for today.  
Talk with you tomorrow...
