The Fairy Tale Journal

I’m sure you’re all feeling Christmas just rushing toward you – where on earth has the year gone? For me it’s time to think of Christmas gifts so I can get them in mail and send them home to Australia and I’ve been making some journals because they make lovely gifts and never go out of style.

I like to use fabric paper for my journal covers because it always has lovely texture and color and makes a strong usable cover, and this month we’ve been making fabric paper over at the Free Lunch Cafe so I used a piece of the fabric paper I made as a sample for this class. The fabric paper itself is kind of ordinary but is a great piece to demonstrate just how you can make something beautiful and extraordinary out of something fairly plain and ordinary.
