Full-Tilt Boogie Grand Finale Journal...

I finally finished my Full-Tilt Boogie Grand Finale journal and I'm excited to share it with you! The reason I am calling it the grand finale is because:

It's got the most pages of any of them (over 200)
It took the most time to put together (because each page is a collage of papers)
and I finally got brave enough to use my antique velvet photo album as the cover!

Here's how it turned out...

The size is approximately 8" x 10"...
I just love the embossed velvet...

I really had fun using up scraps for the pages. Some of these pages may end up being completely painted over, and some of them may stay just the way they are with only journaling added...








The left page is a beautifully decoupaged file folder that I got in the vintage goodie swap I recently participated in. I can't remember who it is from - so if you are out there, let me know and I can give you credit! I just love it!
Those are just a few of the pages. As I fill it up I will share the finished pages with you.

I wish you a wonderful and creative weekend my friends! Thanks so much for visiting!!!

The blue velvet is marvelous (and makes me hum the song immediately!) And I love how whimsical all the pages look. It will be fun filling them!
