Sketchbook Project Journal - Complete

I finally finished my Sketchbook Project journal! You may remember that I did a post a while back of my journal in progress (you can see that post by clicking HERE) and I still had a lot to go... well, I procrastinated since then, and hadn't done a thing until i picked it up again last week, but, thankfully, I was still able to get it done.

Here is my cover - which I am not overly pleased with, but hopefully people will still want a peek inside:

I reinforced all my subpages and flaps that I used pretty tape for with some matte gel medium.

Here is a more collage type spread:

Here is a page with a photo of my husband on it - it came out so dark in the photo but is not like that in person:

The envelope still needs to be filled... which I will do tonight. Love this spread about me and Kari.

Friendship:

Familyship:

a Buddha quote I love and a bit about belonging:

Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy reading your blog and seeing your journals in pictures. I hope to be done with my sketchbook by this weekend.
