Circle Journal - "Random Advice" finished pages

Well here are my pages for a Circle Journal with a title of "A little book of Random Advice".

The advice... the serious advice... is under the flap on the second page where it says "Be Grateful". There is a close up in the second photograph here.

There is a little bit of a silly/funny quote at the bottom of the left page too, just to add a bit of humour!

The papers are from Basic Grey's "Two Scoops" range, I like this collection, soft colours.

I wanted this circle journal entry to be clean and simple and soft in colour to set the mood for the subject of the advice.

I did get out my trusty sewing machine for this, and enjoyed randmonly stitching the patterned paper.

Amazingly the chipboard brackets matched the colours of the paper perfectly and I didn't need to fiddle with them at all for these page layouts.

This CJ was actually size was actually nearly 8x8, instead of the 6x6 of the rest of the set!
