This one is an inspiration journal. I'm going to use it specifically for collecting images that inspire me. I'm always seeing things in magazines or elsewhere, where I notice the pattern or the colors or the design or SOMETHING that makes me go - OH, that would make a cool (insert variable here) for a page! Now I will have a place to collect all those images! I might not even know why the image inspires me, but if it does, I will put it in the book! Yeayyy! I don't have a journal like that right now, so I'm super excited to start! I made the pages all black, so that the images would stand out...
Here's the back of the journal. The pages are 8.5" x 11"...
I've got one more FTB journal that I'm working on, and then it will be time to focus on filling them up!!!
I hope you are having a creatively wonderful week my friends! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fabulous Michelle! I wasn't going to make one right away but you've inspired me to go for it. I like the idea of plain black pages for this journal. Nothing to detract from what images we choose to use. And, hooray, I have everything I need on hand! Thanks for the tip.
Ahhh! I have a book like that! I take it on camping trips with me. You're gonna have so much fun!!! The memories will last forever!
I'm still choosing papers for my cover; can't wait to make one of these. Thanks for the inspiration - yours looks really great!
wonderful book and I never thought of using black pages. Now I will add some when I make my book, thanks.
You will be waaaay busy filling all of your journals Michelle!!! And I like the idea of black pages.. cool!
I like the colorful outsides of your album, especially the back. Beautiful !!!
I love it. I really do. Where do you get your vintagey things? I like that look! I love the cute little owl and the toaster heh. Time to ransack my grams' garage for old books, I think. :D
Thanks everyone! Jessy, the paper with the owl on it is made by October Afternoon. It comes from a line they had last fall, I think? It has lots of camping and outdoorsy designs. The toaster is one of my faves!!! He comes from Cosmo Cricket, and I can't remember the name of the line now - he's a couple of years old.
