It's Denise here today to share a wallet diary, using the gorgeous Time and Place Collection.
I had created a bag brag book a while back and so when I received the Time and Place collection, I immediately had the idea to create something similar, a diary for my bag.
I cut up the 12x12 papers, which have an 8x8 calendar part and so all of these formed the base for the diary. If folded each one in half and adhered them together, adhering only 3 sides, so that I had a pocket for each month too. Each pocket has a card and I can still add little notes in these too.
I added a solid cover to all the months, to add more protection to the spine and inside pages.
Here is a view from the side, so that you can see that it's not very thick or bulky. I also used some bits and pieces for the cover and stamped some of the month names.
I fussy cut some bits from the various months and added those to my pages. I used a purple fine-liner and ruler to draw the lines and also also write the numbers for January.
For February I used a maroon fine-liner for the lines and numbers.
I had so much fun creating this wallet diary. I know that I want to make some more and give them away as Christmas Gifts. They are so useful, as well as pretty! I hope you were inspired to try some of your own too.
Thanks so much for stopping by the BoBunny blog today and we really hope to see you back tomorrow.
Have a fabulous day!

Patterned Paper: January - December/Time and Place
Elisa here form Italy!! We are in August and it's holiday time, of course! But, September is coming and soon we will say "It's time for back to school".
I decided to dedicate my "back to school" project to teachers. I thought to create a journal, with a weekly timetable part and a school program schedule part too.
Boulevard is the perfect collection for this project.
This collection speaks to me about timeless memories, kindness and lovely people.
I also decided to make a box for the journal. I searched for a vintage look, but with a bit of "harvest" touch.
I think that this is the best quote for a teacher:
I chose this closing system to give a vintage look to the box. Bur I also used some magnets for a stronger lock.
Opening the box, we can see the embellishment: roses on the burlap; and three square stickers in the inner part: other two good quotes and a rooster
On one side, I used a long stickers with a roses composition.
On the other side I used the thicker numbers to write the school years.
Inside the box we find the structure. Two rectangular shadow boxes. The bigger depth is 1 inch; the smaller is 1/2".
I used the gold alpha thickers to write the word Timetable
A red ribbon keeps together the months for the School Program Schedule
Behind the Months group, in the base of the shadow box, I wrote the word Program:
There is a file for every school month.
Behind each of the, we have space for notes.
And we have space also inside every month file, because they are like "envelope".
Back To School Season is right near the corner and since my both of my kids are students, I have already started my preparations for it.
This time I decided to create a journal for my daughter.
For my journal, I used Double Dot Chevron papers and many of the BoBunny Stamps.
and for my favorite fall season I had to use all of the fall leaves for sure!
I stamped on the background as well as stamped the images on the papers, I 've used for my spreads, and then cut out them with my scissors.
I used the fall hues colors mostly as well as stamped a lot with Color Wheel inks from Vicki Boutin and added red, orange, yellow and green for my stamped images.
I like how it turned out and the ombre shadow it has too.
I made the book binding for my journal and left the chevron side of the papers with no stamps.
And played a lot with the colors on the other pages
I combined several stamp sets and they complement each other perfectly for this kind of project.
I hope I have inspired you to create your own journal! Happy back-to-school time!

Angela here with a new project made with BoBunny Boulevard collection. This time, I created a stylish mini journal using both papers and lots of beautiful embellishments from the collection. For an overall look through, watch the video below!
The journal has a hard cover made of chipboard and the binding is made of two rubber bands that hold all the pages in place. On the spine of the journal I attached a pendant made of a tassel and a few beads I had in my stash.
To keep a classy feeling, I chose to close the journal with two pieces of silk ribbon. I placed the first piece of ribbon underneath the chipboard embellishments of the front cover, adhering it with strong glue. Then, I placed the second piece on the side of the journal and I sewed it with my sewing machine.
On the front cover i made a cluster of chipboard with gold foil accents and layered chipboard with glitter accents. I'm completely in love with those roses!
My intention is to fill in the journal with quotes and noteworthy words. Some of these are stamped or hand written, some other are from the journal cards and die-cuts form Boulevard collection.
The journal has a lot of space to write notes and thoughts. Some phrases, the more intimate are hidden on a tag placed inside a pocket or underneath a page flap.
Other phrases are written on little pieces of paper directly incorporated to the pages.
I created a variety in the size of the pages, some are longer, some are smaller, to give movement fo the journal.
Here is a Journal card from Boulevard collection with two tab stickers sewed on one side and hidden inside a pocket made of two pages glued together.
Here is an open pocket that holds a page of a book with a poem that I love.
I decorated each page with different kind of embellishments, chipboard, diecuts, stickers and little scraps of papers.
Here I used a brad from Boulevard collection to hold a little tag and underneath, a strip of washi holds in place a piece of paper ready to be filled with my notes.
Since Boulevard is a collection that reminds me of French canvas of nineteenth century, I also tried to incorporate little bits and pieces of laces and fabrics here and there.
This journal could appear a huge project to some of you but, believe me the beauty of Boulevard collection makes the greatest part of the job. You just need to grab the papers and the embellishments you love and put them together without overthinking.
For the journal title the idea was something like 'Notes to the heart' but I wasn't 100% sure so I preferred to leave it blank for the moment.
Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed this mini journal but most of all I hope you feel inspired to create your own with the gorgeous Boulevard collection.
