My daughter is starting school tomorrow and my son will on Monday. I can’t believe the summer vacation is over already! How am I going to wake up early from now on!!! Hehe.
During the break, I wanted to take photos everyday, but I kept forgetting to take photos a lot of times. So, I gave up on day 75 (89 days of summer vacation). I was getting tired of taking photos of the same stuff over and over again and didn’t see the point of photo journalling. I want to try it again in the future though. Perhaps, I’ll have a better idea to take photos of ordinary things in different perspective.
This 4.75 x 4.75 handmade album was created with July The Digi File from TheDailyDigi.com. And the tutorial was for July Playbook.
Cover.
Digital paper (white polka dot on black) from AUDacious designs “fresh” kit (from July The Digi File).
“Summer” was hand written by me (gasp!!!) using a Wacom pen tool to copy the letter style from Emily’s Hybrid@Home 5, 31 Day Calendar Layered Template (This is no longer available.)
“2010″ from the template (Combined 20 and 10) and recolored.
The template came in 4.75 x 4.75, so I created 9.5 x 9.5 document for two side-by-side layouts to print on 12×12 paper.
Score, cut, and fold in the middle.
Using double sided adhesive sheet and attach all the pages. Use brayer to smooth out the surface.
Measure the spine.
Make the cover. Score and fold the spine, and don’t forget to score a line on the back cover (1.25″ spacing on my sample. I think .75″ would’ve worked better). This will prevent the book from warping when you open it up. Look at children’s board books for reference.
Inside the back cover, attach the double side adhesive sheet, make sure not to add the adhesive on the extra score space.
Finished spine.
The book opens flat (Lay-flat binding).
