Make a simple book bound Journal/Notebook using Perennial Essence dsp

Perennial Essence dsp patterned paper is so gorgeous why not make a simple journal/notebook to show it in all it's glory.

Every page of this patterned paper is like looking at a work of art.  If you like a wide palette of colours from blues and purples to pinks and yellows and greens, then this paper if for you.

I wanted to show the paper off so decided to make a simple journal/notebook with the papers inside the notebook stamped with the coordinating Floral Essence stamp set.

 This paper reminds me of Monet's art work as it has that lovely washed look and just lends itself so well to a cover.

I have made a step by step video for you to make one for yourself. So please have a go as it really is quite simple.  The sewn book binding is a really easy way to attach your pages, all you need is some twine, thread or ribbon and a wide eyed needle.

Here are the measurements.
