"Field Notes" A New Pocket Journal

Back again, it's been a busy week on TypePad. This "Field Notes"  journal is a new portfolio type  but with a fun twist- a cascading centerpiece with a 30 page notebook tucked in the back, also beautiful papers from Stamperia. It's also listed in my Etsy shop here . Lets go see...

                         
                                          "Field Notes" Cover

               
                                                          Tier 1

This is the  beginning of the journal with a pocket on the front inside and the first tier to the right of the pocket(that strip with a butterfly attached on top and a squirrel tag attached to the bottom backside of the strip).

I will call each layer of the cascade part a tier. Each tier has a front and back side.

               

                                                      Tier 2

               

                                                       Tier 3

                                                    Tier 5

The last tier back side with the note book next to it. There are many tags to journal and hold more tags.

I love the layers this create and there is a lot of room to add notes, and photos, and journal too.

Thank you for looking, always nice to be back. So much has changed in the paper arts. Paper stores have closed or stopped making papers that have that vintage feel and cost over a dollar per paper sheet, vintage books are hard to find at a cost that will keep my prices down, even supplies like page tabs are scarce or cheep in quality, very odd. But over the last 18 years - yikes! - I've been able to watch the huge boom in scrapbooking and help create the transformation into interactive pages, albums and  journals, now I am using the massive  paper stash that has been accumulating around here and will continue to create whatever comes to mind when I sit down. LOL.
