I have been planning to arrange a giveaway on the blog for a while, and I came up with the idea of making you a beautiful handmade art journal with all the backgrounds all ready for you to embellish. I actually got really excited about it, and spent hours making one, forgetting time, and forgetting to eat lunch. Maybe I should make more of these? (Less calorie intake.) I used Strathmore Bristol watercolor paper, really heavy duty. After making the backgrounds, I folded and sewed them together with embroidery thread. The journal measures 7x11" - that's what you get when folding a 11x14" sheet of paper. There are 16 pages, 18 if you count the inside covers. You can of course embellish the outside covers too. Yay! It's a $30.00 value. Here are a couple of pictures.
