The Wonderful World of Journals
There's lots of journals being created
in Blogland and I happened into this
"Journal World"
The fabric and lace she used was so
beautiful and the colors were perfect
for my home!
Little pockets are filled with
small delights...
and treasures!
Ooh-la-la's galore!
Thank you Wanda for such an
incredible work of art!!
Visit Wanda's Etsy to see her
lovely creations

Wanda & I were doing kind of a
journal swap so here is a couple pics
of what I created for Wanda.
This was my very first journal and I
wasn't all together sure how to go
about making a journal.
I had a lot of fun though and I think
Wanda liked it. I used some great
silhouettes I found for my theme and
the ideas grew from there.

As you can see I used fabric, lots of
lace & trims and many pretty scrapbook
papers. I really had fun making this!

My longtime friend, Cheryle saw Wanda's
journal and wanted one for herself too.
So I found this darling tea themed fabric
for the cover of Cheryle's.
Cheryle has a special love for the
"High Fashion" scrapbook papers that
are on the market now so that became
my interior theme for the journal.
I added some paper dolls and
special treasures to make it complete.
And of course, Cheryle loved it!

Now you don't think I'd leave out my
adopted Sis "Edie" do you?
I made a fairy book journal for
"Edie" to put pics of her little
"Sweetie Girls" in. I included a
pic of the oldest grand in the front.
This fairy paper was perfect for
what I had in mind...
with lace pockets for paper treasures...
a glittery peacock bookmark...
a paper dolly...
special swan note papers...
a beautiful fairy paper doll...
and a special place for a pic of
the littlest grand!

Oh Marie, I ADORE the journal you
made for me!! It is so gorgeous! I
have a very special place now to add some
pics of my granddaughters. The lace you
used is incredibly beautiful and the papers
inside are so perfect for little girls.
Thank you Sis for such a lovely work
of art! ~ Edie ~
Now back at ya Sis!
This is my first attempt at a journal too
so I used what I know best...
paper, stamps, stickers and some images
courtesy of The Graphics Fairy.
(gotta love that gal)
An "M" for
my Queen Marie Antionette!
A place to count the peacock chicks
as they hatch!
Everyone needs to write down their
"Happy Thoughts"...
and inspirational words for creating.
I couldn't leave out Marie's
"Busy Bees"!
Plus little memory photos to
pull out of the two of us.
I loved making this little journal
for you Marie! Enjoy!! ~ Edie ~
(This post is a collaboration of Marie & Edie.)
We'd like to give a special note
of thanks to Rhonda of
Rhonda has the most gorgeous
images to use in crafting and
creations of all types!!
Please stop by to see her when you
have a chance and let us know if
you don't just love her wares!
Until we meet again...
love and blessings to all of you!
Marie & "Edie"
Oh you gals are so creative! I really like the use of fabrics in these journals. I think it holds up much better than paper alone.

ReplyDeleteSherry Dearest, you outdid yourself again!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll be able to help you on the next post.
And both of us want to make sure ya'll visit Roses in Winter and Rhonda's Originals.
For my next Theater Doll ...I'll be using one of the many gorgeous digital prints that I got from Rhonda.
Just a hint...it will involve peacocks.
May God Bless,

Hi Marie Antionette and Edie,
ReplyDeleteLovely to hear from you again and what fun that you and Edie are blogging together.
The journals are all so beautiful and I love what you have done with them.
Wishing you a happy day

Good Morning Girls~~~
ReplyDeleteI so love all the journals. Marie your swap with Wanda is just gorgeous. I was in a summer roses swap with Wanda a couple years ago and I know her talents are amazing. She designed you a lovely journal with awesome details.
Marie your journal in return to Wanda is awesome too. You create the most beautiful treasures with your talents and I always love the details you include. And, your gorgeous journal for Edie is simply beautiful. I love that you included places for the grands and all the special notes you can add in for remembrance. Edie is one talented girly and has such an eye for beauty.
Edie you also made a wonderful journal for Marie. My goodness the eye candy here this morning. I love your papers and the details give such creative inspiration. Now I want to make one. You are one creative and talented artist my friend.
Thank you Marie and Edie for stopping by with your kind comments. You both are such a blessing to me and your kind words over the last month and more have really lifted me so. Life is so different without my "Golden Girl" going to work in the studio with me, but I am moving forward and thankful for the time I had with her although short.
Wishing you girls a great weekend and holiday ahead. I know we have a birthday girl among us and Marie I wish you a special day and hope you are feeling better and healing each day.
Prayers continue and sending love to you both.
XOXO CMD
