A junkies Journal!

... A Journal Junkie I mean!
 
Earlier this month I made my niece her very own art journal and liked it so much I vowed to make myself one (A5 size, as my existing journal is a large A4 one).

My journal

   
Here is my lovely niece Zahra with her first page!
 

I made this Art Journal using the exact same process used for one I made my niece, substituting the plain cardstock for a thick Mixed Media Paper instead!
   
You can find the full tutorial for it HERE.

Back cover

I over sewed the last page of each signature to the first page of the next, thus providing added stability to the binding as well as creating pockets for tags throughout the journal.
