T Stands for Chinese New Year!

 

  Delight thyself also in the LORD;

and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

5 Commit thy way unto the LORD;
trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Psalms 37:4-5


I finished another journal and gave it as a gift to a friend at church for her birthday.  I pretty much personalized special it for her, with her color, and favorite poem, and some things I knew she liked.  She loved it.  I will share some photos of it.


I constructed the cover by sewing the fabric onto a padded mailer.  This fabric was from my stash and was perfect!  I have no idea where I got it but used every bit of it for this journal.




Inside of front cover with pocket.  I made a writing board with an 
Edith Wray digital(Scrapbooking with Me on YouTube) on the front and the words of the song she liked on the back.  Also showing a recycled journal page. 



Below is the back of the recycled journal page and another of Edith Wray’s digitals.




This is a recycled page from a very old hymnal that I bought at a garage sale.



This is another digital and some braille paper.



This is the back of the braille paper, more digitals and I added some stickers I had, and some 49 and Market elements.



This is a recycled envelope, doily on left. On right I created a belly band with one of the digitals and put a bookmark I made under it.  I stamped a quote from her favorite poem, Footprints on it. Also, this is a full page pocket and I put a large photo of us in it.


This is the last page with pocket with a small notepad I made her, and bookmark.



This is just a couple of the pages as it had 60.

For my ticket to TSFT, I have some photos of a Chinese New Year event we went to.  And there might be a beverage in one of the photos.









This was supposed to be a video but couldn't get it on here.







The food was delicious, and the entertainment fun!


Well, it was a gorgeous day here except for a cool wind. Now a cold front coming in!  I did walk a little. Be sure and check out T Stands for Tuesday over at Altered Book Lover.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

This is another beautifully made journal Sharon. I like how you personalized it for your friend. And that Chinese New Year event looks like fun too. I love the giant Chinese animals too. I hope you have a super T day and week ahead. hugs-Erika
