These are two gardening journals that I’ve just made that I would like to show you. There both bound with the setter bind at all and the two books are essentially the same design but a different style and also different layout. This one is the portrait layout and this is the landscape layout. So I’ll show you this one first.
This one is done with a kind of a delicate flow of theme. It’s garden journal that’s cut with the cricket and we have here a little dragon fly. On the back, this is a sticker and as a flower with the pearl button in the middle. So, I’ll take you to the inside to the book now.
So this is the inside of the garden journal. On this page on the inside cover, I’ve placed two—let’s put them this way. I’ve place two elastic bonds here and this flap will open up so a person could put a seeds in the kitchen there if they wanted or anything else. And this is the first layout is intended for photographs so folders can go there and journalling down there and trimmed with the flower and Orion stone in the middle.
The next page, this is also intended for photographs so photo there, journalling there, ribbon and Orion stone. Over here, a little envelope, this is actually made from a brown paper envelope that I’ve covered. This some flower is just a sticker, there’s a little ribbon, the back of the envelope there. This is a few pages of graft paper that can be used for making sketches. These are gifts of course.
On this side, this is paper for making notes and up here this is a flap so items can be tapped under the flap. That’s an eyelid and that’s simply a paper clip. On this side same thing, material for notes, this is a flap an eyelet paper clip and along here a mere role of bids. This is acrylic simply decorative garden that’s cut from the cricket. And over here several pages of notebook paper for notes. This is an envelope that I’ve made from velum. It’s an—it will open up like so. It’s cut with the boarded punch and a pearl and some ribbon and the back of the envelope here.
Over here, another page for making notes. This is a flap things go underneath it. Over here same thing, a page for notes, this is a flap. Here is an envelope cut from the other part of the brown paper envelope. It says “Light tomorrow with today” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and the items can be place in here. The opening is that side. And there’s the back of the envelope.
Over here, this is a flap so paper can be put in there, photographs or journalling. Journalling down there if needed and this is the last page of the book. It has a cat here. This is just a gift for a cat person. There’s a flap in here so paper can go inside, photo’s or journalling can go there. Photo’s could go there or journalling. And the back cover is the same as the front cover with spaces seeds if they wanted. So that’s the first book.
So this is the second book. This one also bound with the setter. I've done six coils instead of all the way down for this one. This is taken from a collage sheet that I’ve purchase and this little thing here is a sapphire product that you can purchase, it’s very handy and its easy to install, open and close the book. And the back is quite simple. I’ve done a little bit of trimming with fun flap but that’s about it.
So now on the inside, on the front it’s the same as before. I have the elastic thread, this is a piece of wood and seeds has been written with fun flock. I’ve gone with the drastic grinch look for this book. It’s supposed to represent a garden and on this side, this is the collage sheet again and I’ve cover it with glitter using the burnished velvet technique. This will open up and come out so she can put photograph insert or whatever, journalling and photographs can go there.
On the inside, this is another space for photographs. This is an eyelet and this is a piece of mesh, plastic mesh. This is the envelop, this ones done the same as the other one with different colors. This is a ribbon with horseshoes on it and this is the plastic mesh. It opens up and on this side, I was playing with decorative wires and I’ve made this gardening tools. This is the planter and the hoe and this is the ring and there over more plastic mesh.
Over here, this is some dried flowers and leaves that I dried using the microfluor last summer that’s a great little tool for drying flowers in the microwave so that’s the that. And on this side, there’s a bible verse, this is a gift for a Christian so I’ve included the bible verse. Over here, the graft paper again for notes. Here, more space for notes. This is another image using the clause sheet and the glitter and you can put notes or paper underneath that’s the paper clip.
On this side over here same idea, this is a very large bread, that’s the ribbon, that’s another paper clip. And this side, this is simply a shade of acrylic put there for decorative purposes. It’s followed by the note paper. Here I have the velum envelop, this one I’ve use a boarder punch to make a decorative role along here. This is an eyelet and a piece of fabric.
On this side of the velum envelop, I have some more plastic mesh and a couple of skeleton leaves. This side of the book the same fill as the envelop and a row of ribbon with horseshoes and a paper clips so notes can fit under there. On this side, same idea with a notes can go in here and the paper clip and some scourge string. On this side, this is another envelop, let’s move that over here.
This is another envelop and I’ve put this thing here that’s kind of a tag. It’s some one of those things that we used to—what do they call them, boggles or something and some ribbon candy stuff, raffia so that’s an envelop. On this side, the glitter over the clash sheet that will open up so journalling can go here and here and photographs can go along there.
Over on this side, journalling or photographs can go be stock in here, this is the slot so paper can go in. This is trimmed with 9:11 and the dragon flying for there. And on this side, the same as before the space here for seeds and seeds there, it’s delicious and again word seeds written in from flock.
