Latest Journals

The journal orders continue to come in, and I am happy to oblige! Here are the most recent of my projects. I have started putting a small piece of ribbon or twill on the top and bottom of the outside binding beneath the cover papers. The composition books seem to tear there often, and this makes them a little more durable.

This first journal is using some Scenic Route paper scraps I had from some note cards I made in November. I LOVE the paper!! The photo doesn't show how saturated the colors are, but it is pretty stunning.

This is some paper I purchased while in Albuquerque. Now I am wishing I had gotten more of it...
This journal is awaiting inspiration for a title. I had some old keys in a tin that didn't seem to go to anything, so I took a couple and tied the ends with some ribbon. I stapled the ribbon beneath the flower to the text box using a large staple. I have chosen fabric and plastic flowers for the last several journals so they will be more durable.

Stolen Moments

I was SO busy this past week, and really had NO business hanging around my craft room for any length of time, but I had this new Scenic Route paper that I was dying to make something with, and I wanted to make a couple of note cards to send to my daughter at Basic Training. SO, here is what I came up with...I think you can click on the image to make it bigger--that bottom card has the sweetest text on it.
