Graphic 45 Dreamland Journal, with mitred corners tutorial.

I love the G45 papers, the Dreamland series is just so beautiful, so I ordered a few bits for a project or two!

G45 Dreamland 12 x 12 double sided papers, G45 Dreamland Patterns & solids pack and G45 Dreamland Ephemera cards.


I have taken inspiration for this journal from ‘My Sisters Scrapper’, who has many videos and tutorials and ‘Scrap n Create’,
 who designed a Dreamland journal in 8”x 8” and has a blog and many page videos for G45. 
I wanted a rectangular journal to match the size of a previous journals with this album measuring 8 1/4” x 6 1/2” with a 1 1/2” spine to get three main pages into this  journal with several flaps increasing the pages.

The mitred corners I have previous found difficult, but my sisters scrapper has a great instructions in her video.  (See links)






I have found it difficult to get an equal cutting line, so I drew a central line onto my binder and using a centre ruler on this line, I managed to achieve a ‘T’ alignment in the corner, and I drew along the ruler for the corner diagonal cutting line.

A few flaps and tuck spots

I duplicated several of the inside journal pages, with the altered smaller size giving a few challenges!

I hope you like this version!?
