I was going to make this for my Aunt Kathleen's birthday, last December, but I didn't get it done in time. Christmas wasn't very realistic, either, because of all the projects I took on. I finally told myself there was no way I could go to Utah without having it finished. I did. But, I finished it soon after arriving in Utah, and was finally able to give it to my aunt.
It's a handmade journal. I learned to make them a few years back for Christmas. I made one for Alex along with a notebook that had pockets for holding notepads and a handmade sketchpad. I also made a journal for Dana for a birthday. So, I've done this a few times. There are still some minor kinks in design I'm working out, but I'm generally pleased with the result. This is the front cover, with her initials stitched onto it.
This is a view of the spine from the top.
This is the front inside cover.
These are the pages. Grant always helps me out with the pages by printing them out on the computer. He really had to battle with it to get everything lined up properly the first time around.
Wow that's beautiful. You're so crafty! I'm impressed, again.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool. I hope she liked it! It really does look professional.
