Just a little diddy in my new journal


 Just doing some color testing in the my newly made journal. I used some Elvie cursives (Lori Vliegen's LetterLab online class) and some CalligraFun letters and some other fun supplies.  And below is the  cover I collaged and sewed up. It's a nice size journal with Arches 140 lb hot press which is great paper but not my very favorite.
