The start of a girly art journal...




So last month I completed my first art journal in an altered book featuring my nephews. This month I started on a girly journal starring my niece....an excuse to play with pretty stuff like lace, floral fabric tape and blooms! :)


I love cutting windows in my book because the depth allows me to add dimension objects like the blooms and pearls without creating bulges in the book so it sits nicely in a bookshelf. :)

Visit Faber Castell Design Memory Craft for a step-by-step on how I created these mixed media journal pages.
