journal-promise Journal or scrapbook - "Promise" One of A Kind. I designed this album (7" x 10" with 15 heavy, unlined pages)with a formal but, yet vintage appeal. Attached to the front of this album are velvet posies taken from a vintage wedding hat and tied with silk ribbons and pearls. A 3" x 3" window was designed with an image of a bride and groom that can be easily removed to place another happy couple. The inside of the album was made especially to show a sentimental poem. Then, a 2" x 4" gift tag is included that matchs- with the word "Promise". A sprinkling of diamond dust was scattered over the entirety for a bit of magic and luck. I found myself thinking about the lady who wore this wedding hat on her special day. Click album image to see enlarged album cover and gift tag.
