Such a beautiful journal filled with vintage style scrappy bits!
In this video, Sara-Lee provides a detailed walkthrough of her handmade, customizable journal, focusing on its intricate design and unique features. The journal has an 8 cm spine and an A5 size, accommodating her tendency to overstuff her journals. (I can relate! LOL!)
The journal features a soft blue cover with a mix of embroidered upholstery fabric and hand-dyed blue lace. Inside, it contains five signatures and a variety of pockets, hand-dyed lace, and crochet accents. It includes elements like handmade dangles, gel prints, and mixed media artwork.
Significant attention is given to the materials used, including genuine vintage items like old postcards, photographs, and tea cards. She also showcases various techniques, such as using dried flowers from their garden, laminated and ironed for preservation. They include practical details like ball chains for attaching charms and magnets to secure loose items.
Throughout the video, she shares tips and anecdotes, such as preserving the color of hydrangeas or using parts of a wedding dress for the journal’s embellishments. The journal also includes practical items like size charts and hand-dyed papers, ensuring plenty of space for journaling. Each piece, from handmade paper to vintage finds, is carefully chosen to create a personalized and artistic journaling experience.
