This is the final cover of my nautical ring binder journal..
The shell I made myself with resin and painted it..


lots of the details was using the fabric..
and loads of little tags, vellum pockets holding more tags..
there are reading lists tags for writing down the books you have read over the summer..


big stamped tags for writing on or even gluing down things 
you have found on the beach.


Dolphins die cute and upside down clouds, boats and seagulls..


Palm trees, sea life and plants.


every pocket is full of things to do..


Pockets in the back and sailor knot strings..

Back to front..

Such a great summer time journal. The shell looks so real, great ways to keep track of all you have done over the summer! Like the dural pockets on that one page, so creative and cool!

JanR said...

Such a cool journal, Chrissy! I especially impressed with that shell - so realistic!

Your finished journal is just wow! So many details to discover and look at. All those amazing die cuts. Perfect for the theme of our current challenge. Your colors in red and blue and white just illustrate a really beautiful summer. It's those colors that make me think of the sea. Fabulous arrangement of all the pretty tags and dolphins and seagulls and lighthouses and everything. I can definitely hear the voice of the sea.
Thank you for taking part in the current Everybody Art Challenge with your amazing journal.
Hugs, Uschi
