Last night I found a great tutorial on how you can fold a 6 x 4 minibook or journal out of two pieces of 12 x 12 scrapbook paper. You can see this tutorial on Laura Denison's Follow the Papertrail Youstream channel. I decided to make a mini journal rather than a mini scrapbook, so I covered the pages of the scrapbook paper with gesso and than painted stamped and collaged the first page so far. I am going to use Rian's wonderful collage sheet (see below) for this mini. The great think is that each of the 5double pages has a pocket on the side so any journaling can be hidden inside the pockets if you wish. Here is the cover, (which will get mork work done to it) and the first page using one of Rian's fantastic images.
