Time for a little sewing, both by machine & by hand.
I used
Sew this page
I did an inkjet image transfer onto adhesive backed canvas, using matt gel medium.
The image of the girl sewing embroidery is from the Graphics Fairy.
I hand stitched the canvas onto a piece of cotton backing using red thread.
The fabric was then added to the page over the background image.
For my next page I used
Wrap something with this page
&
Hide a secret message somewhere in this book

I folded the first page, stitching around three sides to create a pocket,
which was then adhered to the second page.

| Stitched Pocket |
I decorated a tag with offcuts of Scissor Sisters patterned paper (no longer available),
a copy of the photograph I used earlier in the journal
& a butterfly that was laying around.

| Back of Tag |
The secret is now hidden on the back of the tag, which is tucked safely in the pocket.
