like a madwoman, i made a lot of mixed media journals in the lockdown months of 2020. i gave some to my niece. these pictured below i made to have in my stash for documenting lists, gratitude, prayers, a sentence a day, travel stories, etc..
i use all kinds of paper to fill my journals...3x4 journal cards for pocket scrapbooking, 6 x 8 papers, index cards. i sometimes print lines on resume paper or cardstock then cut the paper down to fit the journal i am working on.
like my quilting, i tend to use similar patterns and design elements. no two are exactly alike, however.
i played with adding faces this year and used some paper dolls.
i tried a half circle and letter "D" shape design. it was fun, but hard to cut paper for. i'm going to stick to square or rectangular shapes from now on.
i made a few more, but this is a good record of the majority.
oh, and i use the cinch by we r memory keepers for binding.
after making so many at one time earlier this year, i took a long break from book binding. but i've got 6.5" x 9" book boards on my drafting table with gesso drying. i'm planning to use it for a "kindle 2021: a month of gratitude" journal.
it's time to say goodbye to a crazy 2020 and "burn the b*itch down" in 2021.
rock on!
