inspiration monday

now that all the pages in my "elvie journal" are filled,  it's time to create a new

journal!  but this time,  i'd like to do something a little different,  and the great thing

about putting together your own journal is there really are no rules!

 you can use any paper you like, and fold as many pages as you want......

you can add your own artwork to the cover

 (for mine,  i've taken inspiration from my "orange journal").....

you can sew it together however you like

using your favorite color of thread.....

and once you're finished,  you can add any artwork you want
to all those fabulous pages inside!
voila......your very own custom journal!


{this "wings journal" was created using davey board,  
scrapbook paper,  silvertone eyelets,  waxed linen thread,  
140 lb. fabriano artistico HP and CP paper,
pitt pens,  pan pastels,  8B graphite pencil,  
and winsor&newton workable fixative}
