My newest dori! This is a passport size. 3.5 x 6. I love the old typewriter keys. It's a paper from one of the Tim Holtz collections. He has a postal theme coming out this year. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Got a look at them in the CHA show. Really nice stuff!

Bible Art Journaling

This is the first weeks art journal page for a group that I joined on Facebook called "Hide His Word in my Heart."
The Scripture is Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Eccentric Altered Book Journal

I made this journal while in one of my eccentric old lady moods. I combined old and new together to create a unique multi-purpose journal. This journal can be used for anything from an event journal to a photo album.
This junk journal measures 4.5 x 7.5 inches. It has 16 pages (34 faces), 15 pockets or tuck spaces, and 34 tags. Lots of jewelry chain and charms on the binding and closure. Vintage magazine cutouts, and designer paper cutouts throughout the journal give it a vintage look and feel. Lots of space for adding your own writing, pictures or other ephemera.

Organizing working space

New to me shelves to reorganize my working space. I like to keep everything at hand so I can grab what I want without having to go through a lot of boxes and drawers. My sister-in-law was getting rid of the two shelves so they found a new home on and beside my desk. I still have stuff to unpack and organize but this is a start.

"By the Sea" Journal, photo album, vacation, beach, wedding journal

The "By the Sea" album measures 6 x 6 inches and is bound with a unique piano hinge binding made of wood. The little dowels hold the book together and weaving on both ends holds the dowels in place. The ends of the dowels reminded me of the wooden beach piles on the pier. The color scheme reflects the ocean with various shades of blues and greens. Images are either vintage or magazine cutouts. There are 20 pages to fill with pictures and written memories. The book contains 12 pockets and 3 envelopes to stash important memorabilia. The album / journal also contains 30 journaling spots and 20 journaling cards. The spine is decorated with colorful fabric ribbon.

This book would be good for a travel journal, for recording that special beach vacation or beach wedding. There is lots of room for both photographs and for journal entries.
