I so enjoy crafting and making cards! One of my DAR Sisters fell and fractured her ankle and was hospitalized a few days, now spending time in a Rehabilitation Facility to help her get back on her feet a bit faster. I made this pretty little Journal for her.
I thought a journal would be nice for her to be able to write daily notes, keep track of visitors, cards and flowers or gifts!
These flowers are again from Wild Orchards and are two toned with a deep rich burgundy while the rose goes from dark to light pink
Thought it was pretty, but needed a kick of color - when I used the burgundy velvet it was too little, when I used the big pink it looked too plain BUT together Wallah!
Threw in some pearl sprays, a bit of gathered lace along the edge of the journal a row of pearls on top! So pretty!
Hard to see here, but I also added a nice long piece of ribbon as a book mark or place mark. I glued it in by bending both front and back covers together poured a bit of glue down the books middle behind the binding.
I wish you all cooler days, breezy nights!
Blessings,
Donna
