Color Journal and the Flower Ruffle!

This one goes out to Sarah, who asked about what kind of book I keep my color journal in. It’s a large Moleskine sketch book. I love these books because they have really thick pages that don’t warp when you glue things to them. The book also has an elastic band sewn into the back cover that goes around the front to hold it shut — great for when you’ve glued a bunch of stuff in there! And it also has a ribbon sewn into the spine to mark your place! Amazon.com sometimes has these, or you can buy them directly from Moleskine. I also keep a small unlined notebook handy for jotting down ideas. And I have another notebook where I journal all of my hiking trips. These things are just great!

Supplies: Hero Arts Flower Ruffle (E4283) and Dots Galore (A4241). VersaColor orange, marigold, lime, cyan, fresh green, baby blue.

    that is so beautiful! good idea to have color journal… do you have to stamp all ink colors in your book?

  6. Hi Cynthia — I stamp all of my inks on tags that I have a loose leaf binder on — I should post a pic of that too!
