VectoriaDesigns Bugs Junk Journal Project Pak

Hi everyone I have a new project to share.  I'm doing a collaboration with VectoriaDesigns, they have a fabulous Etsy shop of digital printables.  I'll leave their links below.  This is the first I've printed a whole kit and made something with it. I was happy with their designs and with my finished journal.  Want to take a look?

This is a hand stitched 3 signature journal.  I've attached it to the center spine with elastic cording so each signature is completely removable.  The spine is rigid so it creates an actual book look to it instead of a soft rounded outer cover.  

You could make it either way, it's whatever look you prefer.  The journal label and the ones on the front are from VectoriaDesigns Ephemera File Folders Project Pack.

The journal front has a magnifying glass with a butterfly atop.  I used two sheets of the paper one for the outside and one for the inside glued together.  In order to extend the sides a little I added this great burlap fabric my friend Paula gifted me.  The addition of the metal bee just finished it off.

The inside front and back covers have a pockets full of goodies

I included a couple of stuffed envelopes with extra bits and

pieces from the kit.

The first stitched signature includes ten pages with pockets, tags, hidden clips and extras.  Each signature is completely removable by sliding under the elastic cording

Signature two is a bifold section with pockets and flips

The last signature is a section of coffee and ink stained papers.  I did them with a combination of tea, coffee, distress inks and mica powders so each page is unique and has threads of gold peeking through here and there.  It's finished off with a metal charm that says handmade.
