Journals Re-visited

While working on some new journals I got to thinking about the ones I've made in the past. There are so many different types of bookbinding and journaling out there. So I thought I'd just share some of my previous makes. I went through a wrapped journal phase.

Here are some of the inner pages:

And then a "save the bees" phase.

And then a "house book - bird" phase.

But before all those, I went through a miniature "domino" book phase:

I'm sure I've posted these before on my previous blog called Bookittie. I spent all of 2020 making journals and crochet trims until I finally decided to get more into crochet. I like to do both actually and I have many hobbies. Sometimes I just like to look at them and be reminded of how pretty they are.

I've learned so much making each type of journal. Mostly I've learned what I like and don't like in making them. My favorite journals are the lacey house ones because they have lots of fibers and fabric sewn in. I'm a doll house enthusiast anyway but there is something about them that I just love!

I'm currently in a ribbon bound die cut phase with a big Anna Griffin influence on the design. I love the lacey die cuts and the beautiful vintage graphics that go with them.
