You may have wondered where I've been the last few weeks. I have been spending time on my other hobby....journal making. I have made a total of 6 journals or journal covers. The book above is the biggest measuring 11"x 81/2". It has 3 signatures with room for a forth. I made it this big so I can stuff it full of embellishments and other nice things...so that it can be "pleasing to the eye"
A signature, by the way, is made of pages which are positioned in a book. They can be printed, folded and bound into a finished book.
Front inside cover with the first signature. This paper is by Blue Fern Studios a favorite of mine.
Middle signature
Altered book...this is a regular book waiting for all the pages (the ones left in) to be embellished. Haven't started on this yet other than removing pages and marking where pages will be folded into pockets.
These 3 covers are made from a mailing envelopes folded in half with decoupage napkins. The first two are empty right now but the 3rd has it's cover done and one signature inside
There are so many beautiful papers available that I can't resist buying more or downloading digital papers. The paper that I used in this book is from Medieval Mirage by Artymay. I love it.
This is a ring journal......just the pages in it right now.The paper that I'll be using in this book is Dragonfly Dreams by Artymays
My shelf holding all my scrapbooks and journals.
