Single Signature Made Easy

Single signature

hello I just wanted to share my challenge journal for the beginners one single signature in a nine by twelve envelope and this is what I came up with I just did some coffee dyeing on some doilies and some seam binding I did some decoupage with some Tim Holtz paper and put some rosette trim over top of some cotton lace it's also the spines reinforce with some tie back that's inside the envelope I decided not to leave my envelope open and I went ahead and sealed it this is the back cover there's some filigree pieces I did some Tim Holtz distress paint around the the antique bronze and I also put some underneath the decoupage paper there is some cardstock we didn't remember who it's by but it's a beautiful collection I cannot remember but just to add a little bit more week I went ahead and decoupage go to the top and did some distressing and added the you know the cotton lace and trim underneath the front is just a picture I got off of Pinterest this is just some netting that was off of one of the laces that I sewed into a flower put a piece of coffee dyed oily and then I put one of the rosettes in the middle with a little halfback pearl and my closures just a hitch post closure and I got a couple more filigree pieces here that I did distress also with the same Tim Holtz ink that I used on here and I also made a little dangle charm with all kinds of little bits and pieces and some some pearls and a couple other little charms I think there's a a crown a little time clock and little bronze number four and just a pearl drop and another little pearl that I put it on a little flower if you can see it really good but it's cute and covered it with a bead Cap'n and put it on a bulb pin and just hang from there and also put a eyelet and to put my seam binding through just to reinforce it and also put some underneath you can't see it in here but I've also put some white duct tape also to help reinforce the seam I ended up putting in it's 14 pages so 28 pages front and back I used the summers vintage garden and paper and and this is the same paper from the same collection that's the paper underneath my cover and I did a side pocket with some card stock that I have conch the journaling spots this is just a paper that opens just folder like I love it's one of the pieces of the filmers vintage garden and I put a doily in here some tracing paper there's a paper clip that I made a little flower the pearl and a little circle cut out and I did some glossy accents over the butterflies just to give it a little bit more dimension and this is just a number from a farmer's vintage garden with some more journaling spots and a couple of little cards acid cheerful chairs and laughter and it's just hold on by the paper clip here on the tracing paper and put some tabs in all throughout the book and here's another tech spot this is a idea I got from Patricia Vera Montes she doesn't wanted with the book page foldings and tuck spots and envelopes and flowers and all kinds of stuff and identify see cut flower and put it on top of some cheesecloth and I did some cutout again the same that I did over here and attached it to the bottom here this is just a little nother
