New Made to Order Journal in Shop!

Hiiii Everyone!  Happy Thursday!  I hope you're having a fabulous week!  I wanted to share with you that I added my most recent journal to the shop as a "made to order."  It measures 5x7 and has 3 sewn-in signatures.  The pink lace on the spine WILL vary from what is photographed here but it will be just as beautiful!  The flower adornment will be the same.  Here is the listing for this size.  If you would like a smaller size, I have the 4x6 version listed here.  Thank you SO much for stopping by today!  Have a wonderful day!  :)

New Sizes Available!

Hi Again!  I wanted to update you on this journal in my Shop.  I have added 2 additional size options as well as 2 different lace options for the spine.  The ORIGINAL lace used is no longer available so I have added 2 others.  You can see those options in the LAST photo.  The lace closure will also be different than what is pictured.

The size options are 4x6, 5x7, and 6x8.  The spine will vary between 1-3/4 and 2 inches, depending on the journal size you order.  There are 3 sewn-in signatures with 100+ pages, front and back, as well as 20+ tags and journal cards.

Photo Heavy Post! One journal and new sets of Sentimental Book Plates

Hi Everyone!  I hope you all had a great weekend!  Thanks for stopping by today.  I have a journal and some new sets of Sentimental Book Plates to share with you.  I have a little catching up to do, don't I?  So this post will be photo heavy!  This journal was a custom order and filled with lots of love and extras!  It originated from this custom order listing I have in my shop.  It measured 8-3/4 x 5-3/4 inches with a 2-3/4 inch spine.

I used the Miss Lady Fay Printable Journal Kit again from Ephemera's Vintage Garden.  This is such a gorgeous collection!  I also used the set of journal pages that coordinates with that kit.  

I recycled a pasta box to use for the cover.  The spine is covered with a cotton twill fabric.  

I added an extra notepad with the journaling pages from the main kit and tucked the pad into a pocket on the front inside cover.  

 This pocket is made of dictionary page and parchment paper.

 This is a perpetual calendar that I made up and tucked into a pocket on the back inside cover.

So that's the journal!  Here are the new Book Plates I have listed in my shop.  

I have a promotion on these book plates!  But any three sets and receive the set pictured BELOW, FREE!  You can see all of my sets here.

Here is the video on the journal...

And the video on the book plates promotion....

Thank you again for stopping by today!  I hope to see you again soon!
