Floral Journal

This is a floral themed journal I made for a swap on the MyMakes.net forum.  The cover is a birthday card from my Mother-in-Law and there are flowers galore inside.  This really was a lovely journal to work on, just right for the beginning of Spring! There are lots of pockets, tuck spots and tags and plenty of  journalling space.

Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoyed a breath of Spring too.

Purple Journal

I was lucky enough to be a member of the January journal design team using the beautiful Purple Jenndi digikit from melodimade.com. In addition to the lovely papers in the kit I used the Artisan Design Butterfly Background and Spotted texture stamps, Laurel Burst, Sycamore and Daisy Burst stencils, gelli prints, and some floral and bird images from the Graphics Fairy.

The cover is a rich pink and silver fabric and the journal is Traveller's Notebook size with 3 removable signatures and there are silvery bells on the spine tassel. There are lots of journalling spots and tags throughout and I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

Here's a quick flip through of the pages:


Thank you for looking!
