My "Shabby Chic" journal is finally done!

[wiseheart]

Basically, this is a photo album, with lots of pockets and envelopes to put one's pictures into them; also, each page is double and opening on the vertical side, for even more photos or tags or whatnot. The journal closes with a white-dotted organza ribbon and is basically finished. I might add a sticker or a tiny picture here and there where I find that too large surfaces are empty, but that's not really significant.

I was fortunate with this one as I was given a shabby chic paper collection by my friend Elise as a birthday gift a couple of years ago, so I had lots of beautiful craft paper and all sorts of cut-outs to work with.

So, me dearies, prepare yourselves for da picspam! (click to enlarge, as usual)

Firstly, the front cover:



The first pages, with the flap on the left first closed, then open:



The middle pages, with the window on the left first closed, then open:



The mirroring envelope pages:



The last pages, with the flap on the right first closed, then open:



And, last but not least, the back cover:




Needless to say that not much else was done today. *g*
