StoryBook Journal "Cutie Pie"

Back again, this 4.75" X 7 1/2" Storybook Journal; "Cutie Pie" has 51 pages which include a combination of vintage Four Star Onion Skin papers, vintage lined writing, vintage linen, sketch, and watercolor papers, on which you may journal, sketch, draw, paint, and glue.

I have designed 4 double-sided pocket dividers (which are also full size pocket pages with top openings) created from premium double-sided card-stock papers from PhotoPlay's baby girl collection embellished with lots of pockets, cutouts, vintage seam binding ribbon, charms, 5 removable double sided tags and 3 coin envelope pockets. Each page of this journal is hand inked, stamped and o-wire bound between covers which were created from a 1961 children's story book called "The House At Pooh Corner" by A.A. Milne. Also included is a vintage 1930's bingo card double-sided pocket page and trinket cluster.

This is now listed in my Etsy shop here

Lets take a look...

"Little Charmer" Baby StoryBook Journal

Hello, I hope everyone is weathering this winter staying warm and safe. We've had cold days and nights but only 1 day of snow this year. The snow has been heavy in the mountains though, which has made us very happy.  

So, I seem to be coming right along with 3 journals in the making and this one in my Etsy shop today. I was also able to list a Valentine junque journal here in my shop and here on my blog. yay!

So let me tell you a little about this baby StoryBook journal called "Little Charmer". The covers have been created from a story book written by M.M. Milne called "When we Were Very Young". It has 55+ pages which include a combination of vellum, vintage lined writing, linen, drawing, and watercolor papers, on which you may journal, sketch, draw, paint, and glue. There is also a book mark included which has been made from the spine of the little book- no pictures taken of bookmark except what you can see sticking out the top of some photos; so it will be a little surprise. Here we go:
