Hidden Spine Journal...

Last night I stayed up wayyyyy too late finishing the construction of my second Full-Tilt Boogie journal - the hidden spine. Here's how it turned out...
I used an antique home-schooling book for the cover. It's a big one - 9" x 12." I love the embossed cover with the children playing!


We kept the spine intact, I chose to embellish mine with an antique handkerchief, some thrifted fabric, seam binding, and some embroidery...
I sewed on a circle tag so I can number it when it's done. :0)


On the inside it's filled with painted watercolor paper. I used Stonehenge 90 lb. sheets that I cut down from 22" x 30"...

Soooooo much fun! I will put this one on the shelf, so it's ready to use when I finish the first one! I can't wait for Friday when we start the construction of our third journal!!!

You can still sign up for Full-Tilt Boogie - it's ongoing. Click here for more info.
