Journals

I've been thinking journals lately.  Comment on any of my posts and your name will be put in a drawing to receive the journal at the top of my sidebar.  Just leave a way for me to contact you.  I'll be pulling a name out of the hat on the eve of July 31.  I won't be posting anything until then.  I'm taking a break.

This journal went to S'More Couture, a cute little boutique in which I place some of my creations.  Take a look here.  I used a purchased notebook, scrapbook paper from Shabby Cottage Studio, a beautiful copy of a photo (offered in Somerset Studio magazine insert), a hem from a dressing gown, old text, a lovely lacy edge from an old hankie (so love this), mother-of-pearl buttons, lacy edging from a old slip, a piece of an earring (thank you, Deena),  seam binding by Martha Stuart, pink sheer ribbon, a vintage double button cuff closure.  Click on the photo for a closer view.  It's simple to do.  Try it.

You are a very creative person. It must be nice to have such a gift. I found your site because I ordered art from someone on Etsy and noticed a beautiful journal you made for them.
