Journaling Cards for the journals and Journal Listings on Etsy

 Hello,

I am working on getting out a video on stitching the signatures into the covers, but it is taking longer than I had hoped. I have stitched the nine signatures into two of the four covers so far and I want to film the next set. However, I still have to stamp and then cut the pages for the rest of the signatures.

In the meantime I made some journaling cards for the journals I am making:

These are flat with a coffee dyed paper pattern on the back.

These are folded, one with a tab like a file folder.

And, the backs of the folded journaling cards.

I enjoy making ephemera the most out of the whole process of journal making. I like all of the little bits and pieces. That's why the Birthday Books and seasonal books are so much fun to make.

Other news:

Today I listed 4 more journals in my Etsy Shop. They are some more of the small

journals I made while living in Saudi.

All of the journals together, then separately.

Listing my Journals on Etsy takes me a lot of time. I am getting faster though, yay!
