Welcome to the monthly Club Scrap Blog Hop. This month we are featuring the kit Constellations. I love this kit, the colors, the sentiments, just everything. I loved it so much so, I had a real hard time wanting to cut the paper for a project, so I utilized the digital kit.
First thing first, if you stumbled upon me and have not visited the rest of the hop you can start from the very beginning by going here:
and then proceed to hop on through. There are some amazing artists that participate every month. I am always blown away by their creativity!
No onto my project. If you know me, you know I am a runner an a triathlete. There are all sorts of smart phone apps to track my runs and my bike rides etc, but I like things all in one place and handy at a glimpse. I also think I am a little "too connected" sometimes and I love the feel of paper in my hands and I love to write, so I decided to make a workout log. Well actually a friend of mine posted a picture on her Facebook page asking one of her friends to make her one, and the light bulb went off
Here is what originally inspired me:
Here is my finished version, with a little about the insides afterwards:
When I open the book and lay it flat, an entire 7 days is visible on a two page spread.
The cover art is created from the Constellations digital page. I love that quote and thought it was fitting. I added my favorite photo of me running...dunno, just really like that one. The inside pages are simply an 8.5 x 11 sheet folded in half which makes for a 8.5x5.5 book. The "open" end is where I binded the pages. Here is a sample of the Word document for one page:
I had some card board laying around. I trimmed two pieces to 8.5 to 5.75 inches for the cover. I wrapped the front cover int he Constellations red, and adhered my cover art. I left the back cover naked.
