The Journal is almost finished. I am sharing 4 finishing touches:
1) Create your own Washi Tape
2) Easy Waterfall Notepad Tip
3) How I made the Writing Board
4) How I made the Closure

The next video will be the flip through.

Due to the positive response to my first Masculine Theme Journal youtu.be/YWDPeaOY158 I decided to make this one as a step-by-step series of tutorials.

Check out the whole playlist for this journal:

I'm calling this a Gentleman's Journal, inspired by Margreth on @SevenPlazaCreative, as it is a much better name and indicative of the masculine theme I am going for. Mine looks completely different from hers, of course. Do check out har channel, if you haven't already, as she is very creative and I am learning a lot from her. Margreth designs Printable papers and uses a lot of Tim Holtz imagery. Wonderful stuff.

I am a classically trained artist of drawing and painting and think of journal making the same as any other composition - I look to create harmony, unity, cohesiveness. When I make a journal I am making an art piece and all the elements need to work together, so that I don't make parts and pieces for journals ahead of time, I make pieces for individual journals appropriate for that journal.
