Product Description
Product Description
We all have thoughts, feelings and experiences that we want to preserve forever - and a journal makes the perfect keepsake. This inspiration-packed guide, with beautiful watercolour illustrations throughout, offers a wealth of creative ideas for creating attractive journals from scratch, as well as embellishing store-bought ones. The 21 creative projects range from a seasonal journal that features stunning handmade papers decorated with natural items (such as twigs and leaves) to a lovely book made from travel postcards that opens like a fan. Other exquisite suggestions include an accordion-style booklet for memorable quotes, a romantic journal and a sweet little spiral-bound book for collecting favourite recipes.

I love it and you will love it !!!
2 Nov 2007
Format:Hardcover
This is the perfect book for beginners in journaling and also someone already accomplished. I was really inspired by her ideas.
Her illustrations are very sweet and beautiful and she gives you ideas on how to start painting. She shows you how to collect tickets, leaves and other items from your trip and include them in your journals.
Her details on how to do binding with her illustrations make it easy. My journals aren't boring anymore! I now have more colors and details!
I can't wait to go another one of her workshops !

Several good ideas, instructions a bit sparse
17 July 2008
Format:Hardcover
There are some good ideas in this book, and very lovely artwork throughout, although some of her travel projects (like the envelope/stamp holder made from the file folder) are not really sturdy enough to drag with you traveling, unless you are the type who travels to a destination and stays there for weeks at time. And, why go through the hassle of making an attached cover for a clipboard, when you could make a sleeve for it instead?
Also, some of the directions could have been fleshed out a little more--there was plenty of blank space in the book to do so. One example: the author mentions a "weaver's knot", but doesn't have an illustration to show how to tie it.
3.5 stars.
