Add this Interactive Journal to Your Nature Sketchbook!

[@LauraWatsonArt]

I have been nature journaling for a while and this past January I started a "country diary" project. It's been a great challenge and my framework for it is very similar to yours! Setting a goal to post a video update each month on what I created and having a goal of pages to complete have helped me so much! We are now nearing the end of the year, and my journal is almost complete! I am already so excited about new ideas for my new nature journal I'll be starting in January. Thank you for capturing your journey and sharing it.

So glad to find this. As I watched you make the waterfall notebook, Ikept thinking about making it into a card for my 3 year old granddaughter. Yep-just like you, it reminded me of kids books! Thank you for this idea. Brilliant to add to a nature journal! or a homemade book!

[@ladyflimflam]

That’s a fun addition, but I think that’s the hard way to make a waterfall element. You just need the three squares with an extra 1/4 to 1/2 inch hinge at the top. If you want to mount the watercolor paper on a matte the way you did go ahead and do that. Then fold each hinge to the back, glue the portion that was the front of the hinge and is now the back, and glue them directly into your journal with the hinges stacked as you have shown the pages stacked on your mechanism. This version doesn’t have a pull-tab, you flip up each page independently. I find these work better than this version and you still have your journal area beneath the last page to use if you like. Plus you can use both sides if you haven’t matted the page, or you can add another page to the back of your matting pieces to use if you like.

[@mynaturediaries4402]

That’s a good idea too…Thanks for watching and sharing! 😊
