This is a journal cover I finished recently. The image is a digital art design printed onto fabric paper using digital grounds. I’ve used this image before, but it’s taken on a whole new persona now that I’ve added other design elements. These journal covers are about 7″ x 5″ and are a great size to test out my digital art designs before printing them in a larger size. I hope to get a few more journals completed shortly.
And the back …

Hi again, do you have instructions to make your journal covers? I’m getting ready to make mine and I’m a little apprehensive. The journal is larger than my fabric sheets and my copier only prints up to 8.5 x11. Do you sew the two sheets together? Help! Thanks, Diane
Hi Diane, no I don’t have instructions for these journal covers. When printing on a standard size printer you only have two choices – design your project to fit within a standard size sheet or you will have to piece it together. My best suggestion is that you make a sample first and test how it will best piece together. It’s also helpful to let go of the idea that every project you do has to be perfect. You’d probably be surprised by how much of my stuff ends up in the rubbish bin or is recycled into other projects. I test and prepare *lots* of samples before I finally decide on how best to make it work. There is no right or wrong way to do something. It’s mostly trial and error.
