This is what we'll be making
OK, so are you ready to get started?
First you are going to need 32 sheets of paper. The type of paper you use is up to you. It can be all the same or a variety, your choice. I decided I wanted lined paper and I also wanted a picture on half of the pages. The first thing I did was to print out my pages. Since I'm going to be cutting my 8 1/2 x 11 paper in half I needed to print the same thing on the top and bottom, front and back. When my pages were printed I cut them all in half. This way instead of needing 32 sheets of paper I only needed 16.
Bottom picture, pages cut in half
The next thing you want to do is score and fold all your pages
Now you are going to stack them in to 8 sheet folios. Unfold the pages, stack 8 pages on top of each other and fold them all in half.
Come back tomorrow for part two.

Wow--that is awesome, Creative Ann.... LOVE it! Can't wait to see more!!!
I have journaled most of my adult life and have boxes of old completed journals put away... All of my journals were store-bought though.... Never thought about making my own.
You are so talented!!!!
Hugs,

Love your tutorial Ann!! I love my scoring thing! Mine's by Martha Stewart...I used one of the half off coupons at Michael's for it! Sure does come in handy though!! I have recently been doing alot of "crafty" type stuff...just trying to keep myself sane!! I look forward to seeing the other parts of your tutorial!
I'm already lost - what do you mean by "score" the pages?
This is beautiful, thanks so much for showing us how to make them!!!
Will be following this with great interest! Thanks for doing it xx
I guess you have to be crafty to do this. I am with Grace, what is scoring. Guess we could google it. It sure looks like so much fun and I would love to try to do it. Thanks for these great instructions. Take care.
Awesome... following each step and photo!
You have such a great, creative talent....ever think of joining some craft fair?----you could probably sell these in a flash.
Looking good Ann! I have a bone folder too. Very handy!
Happy Monday!

Very nice, I like to carry a small one when I am doing research.
I'll bet I could mess this project up on the first day. I never can wrap my mind around how to do crafts. What a shame because I'd love to be able to make things.
Have a terrific day. My best to Duke. :)
Anxiously awaiting tomorrow!
