Interactive Page
The May cover page features an interactive collage on the right. I printed a photo of a road and starry night sky from Unsplash, and cut a door shape at the centre using an x-acto knife. To create the door, I used a piece of recycled kraft paper that is slightly harder than regular paper. I covered it with gold paper (a piece of leftover wrapping paper) to add some shine. Before attaching the door and photo, I cut the same shape from my journal page too.Â
On the following page, I pasted a small piece of black paper so that the background is black when the door is opened. I wanted to create a magical realm at the other side of the door, so I scattered some gold and holographic stars in a recycled plastic bag (it’s from a sticker sheet), and pasted it on the black paper.
Functional Page
For the page on the left, I added a few collages and set up two sections. The top left section is for setting intentions of the month. The bottom right section will be used for some gratitude reflection at the end of the month.Â
If you’re curious about the gold 3D frame and faux golden wax seal, they are from a sticker set I found at Daiso! The stickers are made of foam, so they are incredible light but super pretty and vintage-looking.Â
