Scrappy Journal Part 2

Yesterdays post showed you how I use the paper cloths/towels that I clean up with to create pages from which I made this Scrappy Journal.

The quick and easy cover was made with a mop up cloth folded over some batting, that was stitched around the open edges and then decorated with stamps.

I made six mini books (signatures) and stitched them into the cover.

Each section had been stamped and stitched.....

I finished off by adding torn strips of fabric to the spine. My daughter thinks I over did it this, but once I had started I couldn't leave any bald spots!
This was very easy and a lot of fun to do.
Lots more photos here.

  3. Hello! This is adorable and so neat - great colors. I know some kids who would feel like magical princesses if they had such a thing. *Maybe* it didn't need the fringe, but you make it how you like!

    I found you through Mary Nasser's Art Blog Hop: http://www.marycnasser.com/art-blog-hop.html which is just the coolest thing, and I am working my way through all of them from the bottom. :)
