The Journal: May 2008
I am still keeping up with my year long journaling project, although I admit to being just a bit behind. This is my May section, and as you will notice, there’s nothing written in there yet! But I figured since I usually blur the journaling anyway, now would be a good point to do the photographs and show it off a bit. Most of the journaling in this set will be inside the envelopes anyway. (Remember, you can click to embiggen if you need a closer peek).
The cover
The insides
Details
pretty little envelopes
and all bound together.
Eventually, I will bind this section with the rest of the year, but I still need to buy a spiral large enough to hold the entire year. The little 3/4 inch wires just don’t cut it for more than two months. Now, I just need to print out journaling and hand write a few bits. I find as I am doing this that sometimes writing by hand is just easier. I have done some pages where I’ve had no trouble thinking ahead and running things through the printer as I go, but the past few months, not so much. I do have my March and April completed, and will show you those soon as well. I just need to get a few photos printed to put into my April set, and then it is complete.
I’m still in love with this Tea & Silk paper collection from Prima, and most of the flowers and sparklies are also Prima. The sparkly brads are Dovecraft. The font is the new Quickutz Chopsticks. I made the envlopes by hand- very simple process, just open up a cheap envelope and trace the shape onto whatever paper floats your boat, fold in the flaps and instant fancy envelope!
Now, off to order big wires!
Wow! Leah, gorgeous projects!

You always make me see things in different ways! I would never have even thought to use that font or to cut out that bird and it looks just perfect! TFS!
