Journalfest -- Day 1

I am back from Journalfest and loving all the projects and inspiration that I came home with.  On the first day, I took a class with Traci Bunkers where we made a journal with the cover of an old hard back book, filled with a mixture of papers.

I liked learning a new type of stitch and love the fact that all the materials are repurposed.  It was actually really nice to be able to clean out my collection of paper!  I'm planning on adding beads and charms to the strings and am excited about filling it up!
