Journal making

One of the journals I created using the brown paper that covers my art table ♥

{ front cover}

I have a box of little treasures & went through it looking for an embellishment. I found one of my Diary keys from my teen years ~ tied on with a ribbon

{back cover}

the elastic is recycled & cut to the width I wanted

I added a few envelopes ~ front and back  as I love to save "stuff" :-D

Perfect for holding little inspiration/affirmation cards

I created it fauxdori style ... with elastic to hold sheets of paper .

Started out with a dozen, but more can be added as I need them.

It will be my 2017 garden journal.

Just the cover alone makes me think of my English country garden and

the old fashioned perennials that I {and the birds/butterflies/bees} love so much!

"Fill your paper

with the breathings

of

your heart"
