We used decorative paper instead of fabric to create the covers.
and recycled topo maps to cover the 3 groups of paper that form the book (or signatures).
see the coptic braid binding? This is the binding we used on our wooden books this summer.
I used circle design paper for the covers and my pug gift wrap for the signature covers. :)
I cannot wait to see what journals we make next week!
These journal are so fun! I bet you girls have had a blast making them!

Melissa, these journals are so wonderful! I love the paper you and your sister used, the maps, the pug paper - everything!!! So cool. I think I will have to take this online class, too, so I can improve upon my journals. Awesome!
