When you open the journal, it folds out to reveal a left side panel  and a wide center section enclosed by two twist-tie panels which reveal an interior pocket when opened.

The left panel has a removable notepad made from vintage papers which is held own place by a bulldog clip. Under this notepad, I constructed a belly band that hold a small pamphlet full of papers printed from The Vintage Paperie bundle. The enclosure panels are made from #21 in the Tattered Paper Treasures bundle.

The picture above shows the folio fully opened to reveal how the folio appears when expanded. You can see the layering effect of the many pockets which make up the entirety of the journal.

Here you see the second layer of pockets which happens to be one of my favorites. This pocket was constructed by folding a vintage page from a book on Botany. There is a small exterior pocket which holds a tag I made with a butterfly attached with a specimen pin. The interior pocket holds a double tag within a tag.

On thid page you see a larger pocket constructed from a digital paper I designed starring my favorite image in this project, the dragon fly from the Twilight on the Lake bundle. I used this fellow over and over in this project. He was my inspiration. This larger pocket holds a vintage glassine envelope which is filled with writing papers made from the ledger paper in the American West Bundle (which I modified a bit here and there.)

This photo shows one of the two full size pockets, this one being made from the lovely egg print from The Ornithologist bundle.

This next layout incorporates The Camp Fire Song sheet music which backs the egg illustration. I HAD to include this music and it looks very fun juxtaposed against a double pocket configuration. The smaller, top pocket is actually a botanical slide with a butterfly from the Butterfly Garden bundle and the gorgeous aged parchment from Tattered Paper Treasures.The butterfly pocket is made with real parchment and the butterfly slides in and out and can be used for notes.

The final pocket shown is made in a accordion design to allow extra room and it contains a small journal I made with the Green Clover Leaves book cover. I created a small booklet with blank water color paper that can be folded to a larger size to accommodate a water color sketch. I really enjoyed making this. I love to make pockets with “real estate” and this project really was all about pockets!
