my new journal

soooo....i made this nice little slide show in windows movie maker of my new journal and blogger will not upload it, i keep getting an error message. therefore, i'm giving you one really big, picture heavy post to show off my new journal.

it's a spiral bound book with card stock covers. the front cover has a fabric collage piece. the fabric collage was sewn separately onto a piece of batting and then sewn to the cover. the pages are a mix of scrapbooking paper, my painted papers, found papers, and magazine pages (from anthropologie and free people catalogs). the biggest pages are 12" x 12" the covers are 13.5" x 12". i bound the journal with my bind-it-all v2.o.

these photos were taken after i had started working in the journal, so a few of the pages have journaling on them, or the beginnings of journaling.
