Today part III of browsing through the pages of The December Journal, the never ending story… Hehe, actually today I will show you the last pages of this journal, not all are finished spreads but ready to be used when Christmas 2011 comes around and as you all know, that will happen sooner than we think!
Inspiration + Snow Love.
Vintage ornaments + cupcakes.
Can you take some more?
Winged creatures: angel & owl.
Plans for making gingerbread houses.
Christmas tree decorations + mushrooms.
Envelope for future postcards.
A real gingerbread house? Almost.
Polka dots and cute teddy card.
X-mas with Santa.
Birthday baby.
Christmas is often about that: Eat Love Live!
Craft + Decorate for Christmas.
Christmas erotica, anyone?
At the back cover. Bits and pieces to use later!
The back of the journal, same white squirrel as on the front. Love it!
You can also see this journal while in progress, then the first few pages and even more winter schminter pages!
I ♥ this journal!
Just how thick IS this journal anyway?
Still holding on to “the spirit” around here so this was a joy to see today!
I know where to go when i need a winter , my tree is packed away, pick me up!
I love the mushrooms :)
And the snow heart!
even a little christmas erotica, and what were you thinking on that day?
Thanks for your comment!
Pam, hehe, I guess I got a bit into the flow while doing this huh? Many pages later… it’s quite thick but closes anyway. There is a photo of the whole thing in earlier posts.
Silvia, thanks. I don’t know if mushrooms are very Christmassy, but to me they feel that way even though they grow in the autumn. :-)
Cyndee, hehe. What does the images make YOU think of? ;-)
This is great. Seeing all the stitching on your pages reinforces my desire to buy a sewing machine. Did you write on the journal pages shown later, or were the pages kept entirely imagery?
Pure brilliance, Hanna! Thanks so much for sharing all the delicious pictures! You’ve definitely got a gift for making things fit together. Loved the heart snow and all your stitching! Beautiful!
Love this Hanna!
Such pretty eye candy. You did a wonderful job.
You know, the cover is almost as yummy as the insides!
really like the addition of stitching in this journal. one of the illustrations in -Craft and Decorate for Christmas- the boy and girl in front of the fire, i recognise, it comes from the Odhams Childrens Encyclopaedia, it’s a 1950s book and i still have my copy, so i guess there was a Swedish edition too!!
You are amazing! Great journal.
Love your journal. It looks so much fun, and I would be itching to fill it :-)
I wish I can make a journal as cute as what you created. It’s very inspiring! Nice design. :D
love the mitten hands holding the snowball heart! so much wintery joy on these pages. great stuff hanna. you motivate and inspire us!
So cute, Hanna! Lots of elements of the holiday and everything it brings. Love the Christmas erotica too…San-ta Ba-by…he he!
BEautiful spreads … as like always , you are inspiring !!
This thing is the HAMMER!
Is that a “real spiral” binding (one long piece of wire cork-screwed up through the pages) or is it one of those that are pinched? I can only get the pinchy kind at my local stationers and pages seem to work themselves out of it. Yours looks amazing!! Your friend in germany, tj
Thanks for all your lovely comments!
TJ, it is a pinched spiral, but it’s metal and I close them quite hard. I’ve never had any problems with pages getting out of it when they shouldn’t… :-)
Oh you make me smile so often – Christmas erotica, anyone? I’m still giggling.
