A Circle Journal - starring Willow Creek

Good Monday afternoon, everyone!

I'm a bit behind today with my post, so sorry!!

 

I'm here today to share a little project I made using the gorgeous

November Kit:  Willow Creek

(which I think there might be  1 or 2 more

so hurry & get yours while you can!! You'll be so happy you did!)

 

A few friends from the Noel Mignon boards decided to get together

and make a circle journal.
I've seen them all over but have never made one myself.I thought -

ok, this is a challenge & I like challenges...I'm IN!

It was alot of fun putting mine together.
On circle journals, I learned, you can either have a theme or not.
With mine - I decided to go super simple & make it a "get to know each other"

by making inserts about ourselves for everyone to read.



 

this is my cover.

what I did:

1)  I cut 6 (for the 6 of us) file folders using my Silhouette Cameo

and the 3 bracket file folders by Lori Whitlock (LOVE her stuff!) to the sizes

I wanted. My circle album is 8.5 x 11.5 "

 

2)  I used my hole punch to punch 2 holes (for the binder rings)

 

3)  I decided to make my cover simple & only decorate the inside of my

folder, leaving the other folders to the other girls to whatever they wish to do.

the hello is a thought bubble file I also cut using my Silhouette Cameo

and this file is by Loni Stevens (LOVE her stuff too!)

 

I used the entire November kit - plus I did add more kraft cardstock

and buttons by Shelley Hagaman

(A Flair For Buttons which you can getright here at the Noel Mignon store!)

 

and some sequins I picked up at Wal mart in the craft section.

 

4) I cut the 4x6 circle doilie with my Silhouette Cameo and the doilie file by

Loni Stevens.

5) finally - I cut the "happy" with my Silhouette Cameo using the Happy Frame file by
KI Memories.

 

here's some closer shots of my book:

 

 

I hope you've enjoyed today's post!

thanks for checking it out!

have a great Turkey Day week!
