I think if you click on the photos you will be able to get a better look at them.
This is the front cover ------
and the back cover-------
The added bit on the side is because I cut the fabric a bit too small but I think it looks ok--an extra embellishment we will call it.
This is what it looks like when it is lying down-------
Here is the inside front cover ----------
and the inside back cover----------
I wanted to add some quotes about flowers so I asked a dear friend of mine to write them in for me because she has the most beautiful handwriting.When she had finished I asked her to write something from her which is what you can see here.
A wonderful class--with a wonderful teacher and I think I have ended up with a wonderful journal.
Thanks Carole

It looks lovely!
Nice work! This looks wonderful. Had to laugh... I did the same thing on the back cover and had to add in a piece. I thought for sure the fabric was right-sized. I'm amazed at all the lovely bits of lace and fabrics our class members have to place in their journals. Mine will be shown soon.
oh its beautifiul doreen, what a treasure you will have for always....and i like happy accidents, it looks like it was meant to be...
I think you've ended up with a wonderful journal too Doreen. I have seen a couple of others on different blogs and am sure they will all become family heirlooms - they are beautiful and Carole must be proud of her students. Great workshop.
So very beautiful Doreen! What a treasure that your friend wrote in it, maybe this is the first writing of many friends?
I am so happy that I found the class on your blog :)
Mine is ready too, I shall post photos tomorrow on the class blog and a few on my blog too.
See you in the class. LOL
It is sooooo romantic and vintage looking Doreen. I just love what you have done! I'm still embellishing pages and covers!
Absolutely enchanting! The fabrics give it such wonderful texture.
Here, here,to all the above. You must/should be pleased.

Doreen, you DO have a gorgeous journal! I totally love the covers -I couldn't have made them better myself!!
It looks just gorgeous Doreen; are they family photos??
Doreen, your journal is beautiful beyond words. You have that magic touch when it comes to working with fabric.
I hope you're feeling better.
There's no way a silly billy could have created that piece of art! I know it was created by a great artist (namely YOU!!). Now I've made you ill with all the sappy goo I will go on to say just how much I like your journal. Great job!!
Doreen, your journal has turned out so lovely. A treasure for sure.
Absolutely wonderful my friend - just beautiful, and sooooooo feminine! I just love your friend's artistic addition too. It really was a super class, and thanks for pointing me in that direction as well.
A lovely Journal Doreen, you must be thrilled with it!!
This is gorgeous Doreen.
