Customjournals Covers In February, I blogged about a journal I had made. I still love mine and have decided to start taking orders for custom journals.

These books are 144 pages thick and measure 4.75×6.5 inches. I can incorporate up to 24 of your own photos on the covers of the book (as you can see above, some photos will be cropped and folded over the edges.) My book has a square of text on the front cover, if that interests you, I am happy to create one (of whatever you want it to say) and include it on the cover. The photos for the covers are printed on lightly textured white card stock. They will hold up well to normal use. Mine was trapped in a bag with a loosely capped water bottle and now sports blurry stains, but I consider it part of the charm. It means you are using a journal correctly if it starts to look a little worn.

The price for these books is $24 USD plus $5 for US shipping. If you are out of the states, I will calcuate the shipping prior to payment. The books will take about one week for to produce and ship out.

The inside of the book is only available in the cream grid as shown in the first photo. Currently, I can make the spine in white, red, light gray or dark brown (it looks black, but I promise it is brown.) I have limited quantities at the moment but if there is a lot of interest, I will be working through a waiting list.

Please email me at elise.blaha[at]gmail[dot]com if you would like to purchase a book. I will send you further instructions for photos and payment information. Questions? Please ask them in the comments and I will answer them there as well.

    an unsolicited blurb of support for this fantastic little product: when i saw elise’s journal a few months ago i told her that i was really looking for a new travel journal and would love something like this. i sent over 24 of my best travel pics and she made me what is now my most favorite book in my shelves (and that is saying quite a lot). it looks very professional and has garnered many compliments – my only complaint is i haven’t taken a trip since i got it and just am itching to fill it up! great job e, these are fantastic.

    How lovely! These are very cute and a good price for a custom journal. Once I get closer to finishing the one I’m currently using I’m going to have to start picking out some photos.

    I got here via Jodified [http://jodified.typepad.com/a_mom_and_her_camera/2009/06/a-few-links.html%5D and I am sold. LOVE this idea — especially the graph paper. Perfect. Will be back as soon as I get my next paycheck!
