A New Journal

A couple of years ago I discovered Eileen Hull dies.  Aren't they fun?  Anyway I got a couple and then stopped crafting until now!

Journalling has become a very popular past time and is an interesting way to record all sorts of things.  I don't specifically keep a journal but do fill sketch books with doodles and maybe that is not so different.  Anyway I thought it might be fun to make one using one of Eileen Hull's dies.

Full Cover

The Cover is die cut out of watercolour paper decorated with Brusho's.  The sticker letters are something I've had for a long time but I didn't want to stamp on the cover so used them.   The eye glass is a Tattered Angels element, it probably was not thought of as a eye glass by them but it expresses the idea of looking at life here, the "lens" is a scrap piece of vellum.

The ribbon is another previously un-used item secured with double sided tape and I've used jump rings as a fastening.   The pages are cut down from some coloured A5 sheets Orange, Blue, Yellow and Green.  They are held in place with twisted sari silk.

All I have to do now is decide how to use it!
