Round Robin - Round 6

Do you remember where this adventure began?

Way back in January,

I created this journal for

Kindred Souls Art Group's

Journal Round Robin.

I used an antique book cover,

created pages with water color paper,

which I secured with ribbons tied around the spine.

I finished off the ribbon ends with antique and vintage trinkets.

You can revisit my original post here.

I was honored beyond words,

when our group's founder

asked if I would create the cover for her journal!

I began with and old quilt scrap,

and layered laces and buttons,

images, and baubles.

I so loved the look of the tied trinkets,

from my journal,

that I used the idea again

for Gloria's journal.

This time the ribbons are purely decorative,

as the pages are secured using binder rings.

I tried to include many of Gloria's requests,

lace,

pink and cream,

birds,

crowns,

keys.

The little crochet flower on the cover

was even crocheted by my little ole' hands :0)

I have to confess that I had a great deal of angst

over taking on responsibility for someone else's cover,

but I enJOYed the process.

I hope Gloria will be happy

once her journal finds its way back home to her.

I will be linking here:

I hope you are enJOYing a lovely holiday weekend

filled with family, friends,

love and Blessings,
