My December Daily Journal: D.I.Y.

Hello hello!  
Remember how I posted my love for the new Anthropologie catalogue?
  I loved it so much that I decided to use the catalogue itself for my December Daily journal.
This past weekend, I gathered some supplies together and got started on making a catalogue into a journal :)  
I thought I would share it with all of you in case you were interested in doing something similar.
Most of my journals cost anywhere from $5-$25.
This journal was free and it's definitely my cutest one!


Materials that I used:

*  Anthropologie catalogue
*  washi tapes
* exacto knife
* Polaroid 
*  paper doily
* sewing machine

Step One:  do some paper layering with Polaroid, paper doily, and washi tapes.  When everything is layered where you want it, sew it down.  I sewed all a straight lined down the length of my catalogue for a cute detail.


Step Two:  Use the exacto knife to cut out the year in the bottom corner of your catalogue.
Above my cut out, I hand wrote the title of my journal :)


That's it!!
I will add little instax photos and stories, plans, and goals to my pages each day in my journal :)
I love this catalogue so much because of all of the sweet, whimsical photos on each page.


I will be sure to share my pages with you as I complete them :)  I think this will be a great way to document such an exciting, tradition filled month.
I would love to see any adorable DIY journals that you create.
Please link me to them if you post pictures.
