Hi everyone,
I was inspired to make a nature journal with about 3 sheets of Graphic 45 Botanical Gardens paper. I have only inserted one page but there are about 10 pages all with birds, butterflies and flowers on them. Some have lines for writing as well. While I was making the journal I thought about doing heavy gold embossing on the distressed edges so I figured I could make it mixed media too by adding paint and glitters, lace and fibers etc.
My inspiration came from a few journals but I will show one here: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/387591111653829032/
Hopefully that comes out right.
I wish you could see the whole journal inside because it is kinda cool. I did about the only binding that I could remember how to do.
Thanks for looking!!
Hope you all come visit our DD gallery tomorrow to see what we've been hard at work doing the last two weeks!!
Love ya!

I knew exactly which journal inspired you when I saw your cover! Wonderful interpretation. You have outdone yourself again! I'm so jealous that I don't have one too! It's totally over the top wonderful - shabby chic and also very inspiring for journaling! I hope you'll journal pretty thoughts inside too! This one goes straight to my favs!

Oh Robin this is stunning!!! I wish I could see the whole journal too! I guess I'm just going to have to give in and buy this dp because every time I see it my "want it" light goes on!!!
Love the addition of the gold emobbing and glitter!!!
