Since Eileen Hull is our Sponsor for this month, I have used her new Wrapped Journal die, along my my favourite Tim Holtz fabric to create a journal. You can see more HERE.

This mini is using fabric for binding and leftover envelopes for pages with a twist on the hidden hinge binding system. See details on my blog.
I have also used Eileen's Wrapped Journal Die this month to make an "Observations" journal so that I can keep a track of my handspun wool and the items I knit with it. I wanted a tactile textile journal that could sit in my knitting basket and so I have used canvas and tea-dyed lace and ribbons in my vintage shabby style. For more details and a step by step on how I created this journal then please do join me over on my blog HERE.
I was in two minds about whether to show you the inside or the outside of the accordion tag book I've created this month. It was made to commemorate sixty years of a very special friendship. This simple, rustic exterior leads to summer garden delights on the inside, so I hope it will tempt you over to Words and Pictures to take a look.
Dear friends! My project for this month is this mystic mixed media notebook "Druid". I recorded a video tutorial for you on how I made this beautiful face on the cover. In the video, I speak of two different air-hardening clays, silicon molds and show you the whole process of casting. This is my absolute first voice tutorial in English, so I am super nervous :-) See the video and all the additional pictures on my blog HERE.
Hello! I made a very simple velvet notebook with flowers. I wrote down for you step by step a video and invite to my blog.
I also used Eileen's new Wrap Journal die to create my Entomology journal, filled to the brim with Tim Holtz and vintage ephemera. This little journal is busting with details, so please join me at SewPaperPaint for the closeups.
