Looking for useful ways to display your iPhone photos? I used some of my favorite Instagram photos to recover a simple journal. I'm so excited to carry this book around all month and to jot down ideas and inspiration. You want to make one too? Here's how...
1-2. Measure the front of the journal you will be using then add 1/2 an inch to the length and width. Create a document that size in Photoshop and copy/paste instagram photos in different sizes all over the document. Print your image. Repeat one more time for your back cover. 3. Use scrapbooking adhesive all the way around the front cover of your journal. Be sure to get very close to the edge for the best result. 4-5. Adhere your photo to the cover, press down on all edges. Open the cover and use the inside cover as a guide to cut away the excess so that the photo matches the shape of your cover exactly. Repeat with back cover. 6. Use decorative tape to create a binding all the way down the spine with 2 inch pieces of tape. 7. Before you adhere your stickers to the cover, cut them out so you can experiment with placement. 8. Adhere stickers to the front cover and enjoy your new personal journal!

This is awesome! I was doing a similar thing with magazine photos. But it would be so much better to use my own. Lovely Idea.
