this newest journal cover was created from one of the papers that i made from my scraps. i was courious to find out if the glue that i use in my journals would seep through the sewn holes - no glue came through, i was happy. with that said, this travel journal is named "je t'adore" and has been created from a 1930 book called "the golden rule club" with 50 pages which include a combination of vintage lined writing, linen, sketch, and watercolor papers, on which you may journal, sketch, draw, paint, and glue. It is listed in my etsy shop here.
