We hope you will be totally inspired by this series!

Therefore, please make sure you check out the video tour at the bottom of the page…please scroll all the way down to see it. Are you ready to be inspired? I will step out of the way and let Lesly tell you all about her incredible project…

Happy New Year everyone. This is Lesly Williams of Crescent Moon Journals. I am happy to be sharing my Graphics Fairy Design Team project for January. I decided to go for a very lacey feminine type of journal with a bit of A New Year’s touch. I started with an old book and covered it with a toile fabric, then added two different doilies, topped with a wonderful, layered doily piece that was a gift. I next added a fabric flower and leaf then pinned a paper circle tag to the front. The tag is removable.

After opening the journal, a lace pocket is visible on the inside cover with a French antique New Year’s card inside. The first page is a pocket containing a tag that I made using one of the Graphics Fairy frames.

On this page is an embossed glassine bag made into a pocket. I used eyelash trim along the bottom of the pocket and added a pink floral transfer.

The next page has a pocket made from a Victorian scrap and contains a copy of an old Carte de Visite filler card. These were used to fill in places where there wasn’t a photo. On the left is seen part of an antique document and then on the facing page there is a pocket made from a paper doily. It contains a Carte de Visite photo of a young man, and an antique card.
On the front of the pocket is an antique scrap. There are several antique photos scattered throughout the journal.

On this page is a wax seal with a bit of lace and a pocket made from an old trade card shaped like a fan. It contains a small tintype and an antique card.

This is one of my favorite spreads. The left page is a pocket and holds another pocket and a tag that I created. A lot of these things you can see if you watch the video of the full flip through at the bottom of this blog. The opposite page has a fabric flip with a lovely rose. When flipped up you have another page that opens to reveal a pocket with another card. You can easily journal on this page that flips out.

On the left you see a napkin treated to look similar to rice paper. The pocket on the right is made from a window envelope.

This page consists of some old wallpaper and an antique valentine on the right.

This shows the front of a very old New Years greeting card with some wonderful Graphics Fairy images on the right.

I love this spread as well with a mica pocket and this beautiful lady in pink. I embellished the facing page with a tiny doily and flower.

This page I added an antique scrap to the pocket which contains a tag I created.

Another pocket created from an antique scrap. This one has an antique photo and a scrap piece of old ephemera.

This pocket folds out to reveal another pocket and a mica tuck filled with a antique French letter and an old card from a scrapbook.

Lastly, I have layered some lace and a lovely image of a lady. The back cover has a lace tuck with a gorgeous antique postcard.

I want to thank the Graphics Fairy for choosing me to be part of their design team. It has been a wonderful experience and I have learned much and made wonderful new friends through this experience.
