Today I'm linking up with Stamping Ground's What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday.
This is an art journal I'm making for our 11 year old granddaughter, Grace.
Almost everything is laid out and ready to be glued and sewn. The front cover will look something like this. The white flower is actually a new stamp still in the package. It will be stamped on distressed cardstock The background fabric is canvas that has been coffee dyed and ironed. I love the marbling look!
This is the back cover. There will also be flowers stamped on distressed cardstock on the green fabric. Green is Grace's favorite color!
The inside of the front cover has a pocket and the little green square will be embellished.
The inside of the back cover also has a pocket. The tags will be covered with vintage ledger paper and the flower will be stamped on them.
The journal is 7.5" x 9.75" and I picked it up at the grocery store.
I took Gail Schmidt's Fabric and Lace Composition Journal class over at Shabby Cottage Studio. Very fun! I plan on making more of her classes!
