When I was on my blog break I decided to work on the pages but I couldn't remember how the book was supposed to be assembled. Luckily, I discovered the Urban Journal class and I used a modified version of that style to put my book together. I used the cover from a small book I had in the garage and it fit perfectly. I'm going to jazz up the covers a little more but for now here's what I have....
Page one and the inside end paper.
Pages two and three.
Pages four and five.
Pages six and seven.
Pages eight and nine. I sort of messed up my writing but I think it's ok.
Pages 10 and 11.
Pages 12 and 13. (The yellow bird is not quite as bright as it appears here.)
Pages 14 and 15.
Pages 16 and 17.
Pages 18 and 19.
Pages 20 and 21.
Pages 22 and 23.
Page 24 and the endpaper.

I love this little book! I'm calling it My Soul Journal.
It's magnificent, Janet, and so visually pleasing....great job!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is really beautiful. Well done. Glad to see your posts again.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors, great design and beautiful words.
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely. I have yet to make a journal- one day!!!!!

ReplyDeleteJanet,
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. I never finished my book either, maybe I need to revisit it.
In one word Janet----YUMMO
ReplyDeleteI love this colorful journal full of inspiring art! I would so love to make an art journal! I need to study what you've done! So beautiful! ♥
ReplyDeleteI meant to add, that I never finished mine either from that class...but that seems to be the norm for me lately. I am an expert at "starting" things. Now you have me thinking, I'd better dig that one out and get it finished!
ReplyDeleteWow they are truly amazing....I could see each one of these pages made into commercial journals for the masses....they are so beautiful...if you asked me to picked which I like best it would be difficult....Janet you have to market these... I love covers that look like this.... How about a sending them to a craft magazine? Wonderful work!

ReplyDeletein one word too.... INCREDIBLE! what a wonderful idea to make a soul journal! I love this.
ReplyDeleteJanet, this is beautiful. I think it is the nicest example I have seen of a stencilry journal. I think because you have used a very cohesive colourscheme throuought.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's just wonderful, Janet--I would love to have a place here where you can look at everyone's journal (kind of like the sketchbook project). I love looking at the real thing, and not just photos.
ReplyDeleteLove it. ♥

ReplyDeleteYou have to have the stamina of a hummingbird, as you simply amaze me at the projects that you have going. This Soul Journal is gorgeous...I so love the tulips and yellow bird page. Using the cardboard with the ridges is quite interesting. Love the butterflies, too!
