Whimsy Word Journals Part II


I received my journal today from Christy, as part of the Paper Whimsy Ning Group's Whimsy Word Journal Swap. What a sweet and creative journal! The covers are made from paint color sample cards. The journal is embellished with a lovely little PW girl, buttons, a gorgeous paper flower, ribbons and a silver key charm. The binding is hand-stitched and the cover quote is "...out of the air and into a dream."
Such a wonderful conclusion to my first swap with this group.
Thank you Christy!

I DO Love Being a Part of Paper Whimsy

I thoroughly enjoy the various art exchange groups I belong to, and just this past week I joined another. Paper Whimsy has always been a favorite online source of collage sheets and other bits and baubles. The Paper Whimsy Ning Group also does not disappoint. What a warm, welcoming and highly creative group of people I've had the good fortune of getting to know. I highly recommend WhimsyLand to anyone looking for an inspirational, artistic home.
My first endeavor is the Whimsy Word Journal Swap. Each participant is to create a journal using found objects for the cover. I used bingo boards from an old Milton Bradley game. This is the journal I'll be sending to Sallie in California.
