i treated myself to some fabriano artistico 140 lb. soft press paper.......it's nice and heavy like watercolor paper, but the surface is smoother, making it a little easier to letter on. i haven't had a chance to do much experimenting with it yet, so i decided to make a little journal "teesha-style".....these are super easy to make, and i love the fact that there aren't lots and lots of pages inside that i'll feel obligated/intimidated to fill up right away!! pure happiness!!
this journal cover was created using watercolor pencils, micron pens, graphite pencil, and pan pastel.

even at the risk of sounding repetitive, this is so super cool... absolutely adore your scribblings... wud love to learn how u do it so magically well...
isn't it amazing how paper and pens can be so appealing!! I remember as a kid loving to get new school supplies...and that has continued till this day. I love office supply stores, stationary stores, and of course art stores!!!
can't wait to see the inside pages of this journal as you create them.
Love it!!
i always love your projects
Lovely!
How wonderful! Isn't it funny how the surface of a new paper can be so enjoyable? Definitely a Happy Zone! XOXO
This is GORGEOUS!! I know what you mean about TOO much paper!! Can't wait to peek inside when you let us :D
I made one of these journals just last week! Of course, you're way ahead of me because mine is still completely and utterly blank. I like the theme of "happy zone." I can't wait to see what magnificent doodles will go inside.
ooooh, I can almost feel that paper, lori! I want to hold your new journal.
Darling, Lori!!!
That's a stamp you know!!!!
What a fun project :) and new art supplies always bring me to my happy zone :)
I love it, Lori. And I love how you are always willing to dive in and try new things. You're quite inspiring! :) Hugs!
This certainly is a "happy zone". I get happy as soon as I click in here...every time! :D I love your journal cover, Lori...it's so perfectly YOU!!! xoxo Paulette
i so appreciate that you share the tools you use as well as the type of paper! it makes me want to make a list of items to get at the craft store & create something of my own.
oooo, ahhhh, that paper!
i love to rest & play
in your happy zone...
lots of love/xoxox!
What a great idea. I would love to have a go at that - as pre-made journals do see rather daunting to me.
I am so glad I found you.

Next to ATW, "soft" is my favorite paper. I'm surprised more paper mills don't make it.
