Handmade Travel Journal with removeable charm
Well, here it is. A new journal Ive made. As I said before I bookbind so this journal has been made from scratch. Ive sewn all the pages together, made the covers etc. Rather than using cardstock to make the cover, I used canvas. I bought it on a roll and its great stuff. So I decorated the canvas cover with glimmer mists, distress inks and then stamped some images and used printed images that are from
The Graphic Fairy. Its a fab site filled with gorgeous vintage images.
The ribbon is tinted with my own hand made glimmer mist and as always the flowers are all hand made by me. I made the charm as a bookmark but can be unclipped and put onto your mobile phone, handbag, luggage etc. I showed it in a previous post.
So here are the photos folks. Any comments are greatly appreciated as always.
