USAPC: One-Signature Junk Journal: October US

Hi swappers!

Many thanks to Jane for listing this swap the past few months and allowing me to take a break!

For October, let's create a Halloween- or autumn-themed journal (or a mixture of both). The journal you create should:

• measure 5.5" wide by 8.5" tall (standard 8.5"x11" paper would work for this--just turn it sideways and fold)

  -have an October-themed cover (Halloween or Autumn)

• binding of choice (loads of YouTube tutorials on binding styles) Pamphlet stitch is probably the simplest, but use anything you like for your binding, including hinged

• have at least 8 UNFOLDED pages (more is fine) This means a stack of 8 entire 8.5"x11" pages, which will double the page count when folded.

You may use an assortment of papers for the journal you create--not all of them will have the same measurement; however, the cover should measure approximately 5.5"x8.5". Please leave plenty of room for journaling. If most of your pages are not suitable for journaling, simply add some extra papers/tucks/etc. inside.

Re embellishing pages: your journal should have several embellishments--a little something on nearly every page. That said, your 'little something' might be a bit of washi tape, a stenciled image, a rubber-stamped image, etc. DO add some tuck spots and pockets as well.
