a july project

happy july and happy new project! 

i decided i wanted to do something every day during this month and came up with a happiness journal. i will jot down a few things that made me happy every day and created this minibook for it. 

a few weeks ago i went to a rummage sale and bought a few vintage books with lovely covers. this one is actually one i have had a few years without finding the right project for it. 

i ripped out the pages (yes, it did hurt to ruin a book!).

i added a strip of washi tape to the inside spine just to hide the leftover paper and glue.

i cut 31 one pages of this regular squared notepaper to size and added a ringbinder. i also added a piece of patterned paper to the front of the actual "notebook" and that is how i attached it to the books inside cover. just glued ot down on the left page. 

lastly i just jazzed up the front page!
