Pair Journal - Sue & Sami

 I made a start on my journal today..............

 I am using a school exercise book.............when I was at school we had to cover our exercise books so I used a sheet of paper off the pad I work on to cover my book....

 I put my name inside................

and I made a page to start with......does it need anything more or is it done?? 
Over to you Sam!
Sue.



Thanks Sue!

Well I have made a start!
I made the journal as I couldn't find anything suitable. I used a piece of canvas for the cover and painted and sprayed it. Inside is about 30 pages of cartridge paper.


 Here is the first page (sorry the photos are a bit blurry). I used bits of let over canvas to stamp the letters on.
Here is the second page with room for stuff to be added if you fancy?!
I really wanted to get another page done before I send it off but am busy all weekend, let me know when you want to post!

  4. Wow, lovely Art Journal and pages! I'm impressed. Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog and I'm glad you like my knitting - actually I can see deficiencies in the tension but they will even out once it's blocked, I hope. It progresses slowly but surely.

    Happy WOYWW,

  5. Love the way you have used he exercise book and it certainly brought back memories of school book covering.
    I still enjoy using a new book for the first time!
    Great Alice pages, I must get organised with some photos of my book.

  6. Now there's a surprise, A is for Alice :D

    It's brilliant, actually looks like a school book should. Not sure you'll get a gold star with all those ink blots though!
