Remember how I said that the page the other day had a secret? Well, here it is. It folds in on itself. The journal that I am working in now consists of many pages that have hidden valley and mountain folded pages. I folded the pages back and forth as I work. The 140 lb wausau paper takes a beating.Would you believe that I am almost already finished with this journal?!? I've been having such a blast working on the pages that I am a just a couple of pages away from being finished. Mind boggling! Yes, I will be sharing them here with you!
Crazy busy weekend! (Yay!) Trekking to Zinnia today to teach! Stampin' From The Heart tomorrow! I'm so happy (and thankful) to be teaching! I love my students and I love my stores!Saw this at the bookstore the other night. I love that we have a few bookstores still within walking distance.
Speaking of books, a little heads up that this month not one but TWO books that are big on my list are coming out:
Lynda Barry's Picture This (I know Amazon says November, but if you are in L.A., Lynda will be at Skylight books THIS month on the 19th. Guess who will be waiting in line!?)
Maira Kalman's And The Pursuit of Happiness
Hope that you get some art time in wherever you are. :)

Your pages are so intricate and beautiful. I haven't yet gone past a simple spread, but I am feeling inspired to start doing tip ins and stuff. I'm finally working in a handmade-by-me journal (140 lb paper! woo!) but I kept it simple - no hidden pages, no flip outs...
One of these days, I'm going to get even braver. :)
Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!
I totally Love the secret of your page, and the hands that you include in many of your posts...where would we be without our hands...we take them for granted so much...
Mini Jotter is a Must Do....I am so in Love with these!!! Excellent for anyone on the go....Can't wait to do them up for my friends for Christmas!!!!!

I love using folded flaps and hidden things like that in journals. Did you make the hidden pages with folds when you made the book? I also like attaching pictures (brochures when I'm traveling) and making hidden page areas.
Your journal pages are awesome by the way!
Kelly...love the pages. AND....we love having you teach at Zinnia!
wish I looked sexy while lounging :)

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Sparkleblue Faery, YES I folded the pages that way before I sewed them in. I have also taped, stapled, sewn, etc... pages, brochures, photos, etc... into journals as well. I love it! Quite fun! :)
