One Coptic Journal and one almost too easy journal (IMG Heavy)

[Queen Of Fools]

I made the first one using the tutorial here: http://personal.mem.bellsouth.net/d/r/drv1913/0204.html



It was one of the first I made, so it turned out fine for my use.  This is a shot of the inside as I use it for notes, sketches, or whatever I feel like at the time.



This one is the one I just made using the instructions I found here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/acInstructions?cat=56769&dlc=en&encodeUrl=false&lc=en&page=acProject&project=yourlifeyourjournal&subcat=56794&cc=us&projid=c00490796





I must say this one was a lot easier to make, though maybe not quite as sturdy.  If I want, though, I can cut the ties off later and add more paper, so that's a bonus too.

those are both really cute. i like the writing all over the first ones cover and i like the beads on the spine of the second!

Very nice! I agree with the other comment---love the print on the first cover and the beads on the second binding. The print---was that on the paper or did you add that?

[Queen Of Fools]

Thank you both.  The writing was on the paper already.  I have a thing for collecting paper with writing, music, or anything that looks like it could be real (cork, satin, water, stamps).
