Chrysanthemum Junk Journal
The base for the cover is an old book that i covered with a textured paper. I chose the base mainly due to it's curved spine. This will be the first curved spine journal i have made and i really enjoyed it. The main advantage of using a curved spine is that it allows you to have a floating spine. Perfect for creating a chunky journal as it as this method allows the signatures to lie flat when opened.
For the main pages i used the digital kit "chrysanthemums" by Tsunami Rose Designs as well as a few other items from her other kits - Charming Fragments, Tag Collection, Victorian Words and a few other ephemera sets. I also added coffee dyed papers and a few patterned papers from my stash.
