Journals, Scrapbooks and Albums Made Simply Beautiful by Gwen Diehn. A blank book is actually full of promise: the promise of becoming lively with recorded experience and emotions. But, too often, we depend on words alone, and forgo all the wonderful options for making a journal visually meaningful. These simple unintimidating decorating techniques can change all that forever and turn your personal book into a real treasure. Color wash paper, rubber stamp designs, add secret pockets and tuck mementoes inside. Include "windows" between pages to enhance the sense of curiosity and discovery. Attach sentimental bits of ephemera-rose petals from flowers your sweetheart gave you for Valentine's Day, or ticket stubs from an unforgettable evening. Now only available in paperback. 8.5"x 10", 128, full color, pb.
