Part 3 of Let's Make a Journal Together... In which we make Cross Corner Pockets, ruminate on the order of things, and gaze at pretty flips.

In part 3 of the Blue Roses Journal, I make some twin cross corner pockets and attach a lovely, delicate flip. I am trying to decide how to proceed and in what detail. I think I will just make this journal from start to finish. To get ahead a bit - here is a link to my video where I embellish Nicola's Love Hearts: youtu.be/FWr16Y_EsbU?si=AqDBhkfrfPF55NdH

I have listed the papers used on each page. They are:

1. The Blue Rose
2. The Blue Rose
3. Needlework 3
4. Needlework 3
5 Needlework 3
6. The Blue Rose
7. Needlework 3
8. Blue Belles 3
9. The Blue Rose
10. The Blue Rose
11. The Blue Rose
12. The Blue Rose
13. Needlework 4
14. Heavenly Ephemera
15. Heavenly Blue 2
16. Florabella Backgrounds
17. Blue Belles 2

I have been using Southworth paper 100% 32 lb White WOVE finish.
The rhinestones can be found on Amazon - just put Rhinestone Chain Trim in the search box
Many of the laces used come from Antique Adventures STD on Etsy.
I use three types of glue: Uhu Glue Stick, Art Glitter Glue and Aileen's Tacky Glue

I will have part 4 ready on Saturday, March 28th in the evening. (I can't believe it's the end of March!)

Thanks so much everyone - I appreciate your kind and fun comments.

Take care - Dody
