Do you like to read ? Do you love books , have a lot of photos of books and need that perfect collection to scrapbook them ? The Ex Libris Galaxias is the one - so many amazing fun bookish things to play with, let your little librarian heart swell with this collection ! Check out the three projects I created and then please don’t hesitate to tag me in what you come up with ! I can’t wait to see

My first project is a travelers notebook page layered up the side with the stickers . It’s amazing the detail you can add to a simple travelers notebook page with a digital kit simply by adding dimension to the elements - for this page what I did was use the stickers and alternate them with regular adhesive and dimensional , by using the foam adhesive it raises the eye and gives a strong perspective.

I also thought with the large photo and all the busy of the elements I still love to include journaling on every page - but there was no where to go with it but you can always hide it by using a circle punch and putting a notch in the page and then inserting a journing card behind with a hidden pocket to hold it and a pull out tab.

Another opportunity for this amazing kit is a full size two page spread showing reading and featuring the wonderful papers in the kit and the books as elements again following the adhesive and the pop up of the foam wil help with showing the eye where you can go and leading with bright vibrant colors in the kits and elements .

And last but not least a great trend in the industry is reading journals , - so this kit would be perfect for as an option for adapting an of the many planners you see on the market at this time of year into a great manageable reading journal.

What I did here was pick up an inexpensive planner at dollar general for around 8.00 and I took this kit and printed out the papers and stickers and extras .
Then I looked at the tabs they were monthly - I decided I had 12 months and I wanted to include pictures of my book covers and a review, the type of book and where it sits on the best sellers list -
So I then began to reformat the planner into a book journal as you see below. The great thing about this time of year is planners can become just about anything and with tabs and calendars you can easily make them into virtually anything!

The beauty of a digital collection is the way you manipulate size and quantities to your needs ! Have fun ! The sky is the limit !! This is just the beginning of my reading journal I can’t wait to see yours!
