Travel Journal and a Winner

Happy Monday everyone! I wanted to show everyone the cute travel journal I made for my friend Nancy to go along with the card from the Motions and Folds blog hop. I used chipboard for the front and back of the album and decorated it with Fabric from Stampin UP!s latest mini catalog. I just love this fabric. I am not much of a sewer but I have been really making a go of it lately. The entire front is hand sewed. I even sewed the letters that I cut out on my Cricut onto the fabric to make up the title. I cut the scalloped square with my Big Shot and sewed the flowers and ribbon on as well. I used fabric glue to adhere the fabric to the chipboard and placed a piece of craft cardstock over the edges so you wouldn't see that part. I used some Aleene's Stop Fraying glue to cover the spots where I wanted the hole's to go so the fabric would cut out nicely for the holes. Once that dried I took my crop-o-dile and punched the holes through the fabric and chipboard and then took o-rings to bind it all together. I really loved how this came out and I was so excited to give it to Nancy!
