A couple of months ago, I posted a journal/sketch book (click for the original post) I was creating for a special young lady. I think I'm done with my part and it's time to hand it over to her to fill with her dreams. I want to share just a few pages of what I came up with, because it's a huge book.
Even though I posted the front cover in the original post, I changed it up just a tiny bit, by adding another leave and some twine around the flowers. I really didn't want to cover up the beautiful paper.
As I stated before, I couldn't find a journal/sketch book, so I made my own by taking 2 books and creating one book that would fit exactly what I wanted for her. Something she could write, doodle and paste pics into. I tore out the pages from the lines journal book and used spray adhesive to tack them down into the sketch book. Some of the pages I stamped inspiring quotes.
Some of the pages I added designer paper behind the line pages. I also cut them to different sizes. Stamped images for her to color.
This page allows pics or doodles to be added.
Her own image to color and make it hers.
Some pages, I even added small metal accents.
More encouraging words.
Lastly, I added a couple more images I colored. Since she excels in school, this image from Saturated Canary called Diane, seemed perfect and studious.
There are also blank pages for her to do whatever or add whatever she wants.
Knowing she likes science, this image from Saturated Canary called Beauty and the Beaker needed to be added to her book.
This book is huge and just filled (weighing almost 4 lbs), so I only took a few pics of the inside or this would have been a very long heavily pictured post.
thanks for looking and reading :o)
