Journal 5

I have finally completed Lesson 5 from the class I took from SueB. This journal is made so that the signatures can be removed and new ones added. I found some wonderful fabrics at The Quilt Nest, in Castle Rock, WA. Some fun bead work was added to fabric on the cover. I think I shall add some larger beads to the threads that hang down the spine.

Journal 3

This is the third journal that I have done in the online class with SueB. This journal is the smallest journal we have done. It is put together a little differently then the first two. Sue had us make a separate back and front and it is held together with several ribbons.

There are several different kinds of paper in the journal. The first page I did some watercoloring and then stamped and embossed some seashells on the paper. Besides watercolor paper I have added some writing paper, drawing paper and card stock. I will be adding some pockets to put loose items in.

We are in Idaho this week having a little vacation time with by husbands brother. We are staying at Lake Coeur d' Alene, at a wonderful time share and we are right on the water. Although it is April there is still some snow around and it is predicted to snow some more.

Fabric Journal

I am taking a journal making class from SueB. It is a five week class and this is our first journal. I used a fabric with wine bottles for the outside of the journal. I then added some ribbon. The button looks like the end of a cork and covers the velcro closure.

The inside of the journal is lined with a fabric that has grape vines on it. The pocket is fabric with wine corks on it. I have used several things to embellish the pages. There are antique wine labels, wine related stickers and stamps on the pages. Sue also had us put a couple of pockets in the journal to hold loose things. Monday we will get the instructions for our next journal.
