wiseheartThis one is a bit hipster, for the youngest of the three brides, and made entirely of envelopes. I'll put the pictures under the tag - I can't stand it myself when my Friend's page is swamped with huge photos, making commenting or simply reading the messages a pain.
The cover: front page, and then the whole thing, front and back:
Inside pictures - in some pages there are already tags with congartulatory messages put into the envelope pockets:
As you can see, this one has a hand-stitched card (also made by me, of course) on the inside front cover. Taking the photos put some stress on the envelopes, so that I had to repair the journal a bit afterwards, but I definitely wanted a pic of each decorated page, so it was worth the bit of extra effort.
(The stone on the left side only serves to hold the page in place; it isn't part of the journal, nor has it been decorated by yours truly.)
(As I said in my previous entry, my iPad likes to err on the side of blue. This was actually a white envelope, believe it or not!)
(Another white envelope that ended up blue. Note the congratulatory tags in the pocket).
(Yes, this was a white envelope, too. It's really annoying.)
(See above. Funnily enough, only a certain kind of white paper ends up blue. As you can see, the tag remained white... well, more or less.)
(Yellow paper clearly has better luck - save for the fact that one of my fingertips somehow ended up on the picture. Yeah, I do have thick sausage fingers. *g*)
(More tags, more blue hues. The messages are from various colleagues, by the way.)
(The messages are in English because both G and her future husband are English teachers.)
(The inside of the back cover - not a very good picture, the stupid journal managed to move a bit while I was taking the photo but, well, one can still make out the pattern, right?
So, that was Journal #1. I'll post the rest when you had time to absorb this one. ;))
Tell me what you think!
