Because August is such a jam-packed, adventure-filled month for me, I started a souvenir journal that I've titled "My Life One August." I made a journal using the technique I'm teaching at Handmade U so that it will serve as not only another class sample, but also as an example of what this kind of journal will look like all filled up!I've been working in it, adding bits and journaling from my trip to Seattle to take classes at Artfest Annex last weekend. I've got a lot more to add and it already won't close. It's getting all sprung and gloriously chunky!
Pages...
Here are a few pages I've completed...
Some pages in progress...lots of bits glued and/or taped in but no journaling yet...
I can't wait until vacation next week! I have several journals that I'm taking with me and I'm gonna have lots time to leisurely work in. I am soooo happy and so in need of some time like this. It's gonna be a perfect vacation!!!
See you soon!
so cool! can't wait!!!

This may be a silly question but how do you bind these cool journals? Do you add pages as you go? Thanks!
