GratitudeJournal

I was inspired by Dawn McVey's Gratitude Journal stamp set to make a journal of my own.  I decided to use PTI's  coasters as covers, so my album is 4 inches square and bound with a D ring. Jenni Bowlin's Haven paper collection turned out to be exactly the right size.

I decorated my book with journaling blocks, chipboard pieces and various little tags and doodads.  Danielle Flanders gives instructions for the little twine 'flowers' here on her blog.

  2. Wonderful pages for your journal, Anne. The coasters really make a neat size for a journal and all the details you've added to each page makes for some special touches.

  3. I just saw one of these on another blog and was thinking how I could make a masculine one... Love the black/patterned papers you have here. I guess I have work to do!

  5. This is so special. I love that you have used such classy color combinations and images. I haven't ever made a journal but this is the style I would love if I were so brave to attempt it. ;-). I hope you get much joy out of this magnificent project. It's glorious!
