  • I am embarking on a new detective-themed journal project with this one-of-a-kind folio/casebook! Collage, clever pockets, and more in this fun and unique journaling experience with a "lady detective" noir mood.
    Thanks for your interest!

      I’m glad you like the idea of a mood board. Thanks so much for watching. I find these helpful with some journals. Here is a link to my explanation of how I do what I call a concept journal…you might find this useful too! A Concept Journal? - What is That? ua-cam.com/video/JF3a_ZQijck/v-deo.html

    Bravo Kathleen!!! I have never heard of this type of "case file" journal, not quite sure what it all entails. I think your foggy sinus brain is doing quite well. Your file cabinet and file folders are just genius, you know that's going to get "cased". Looking forward to this series. Hugs and hope you feel better soon.

    Wow! This is definitely a new type of journal for you, Kathleen. Something to really kick your creativity and imagination into overdrive. You’re off to a brilliant start in my eyes! Just trying to organise a structure for such different reasons is huge. Well done on your thinking process! I’ve never seen a folder like the one you chose as the base, and it’s great! The filing cabinet with the drawer opened and filing spaces is amazing! I hope you’re feeling much better soon. Our younger son has health issues at this time of year, too, as we progress into autumn. His asthma and now a chest infection has laid him low for over a week now. Hopefully, he’ll be feeling well enough to return to work next week. Take care, dear friend! Love and big hugs! 😀💞

    Kathleen, I love it!! As soon as I saw you thumbnail, my imagination took off. I, too, have always loved mystery books and intrigue (but not gory, please). And Flim Noir is another favorite of mine, so I am looking forward to your series making this "solve the case" journal. I love what you've done so far and the two pages you've decorated are looking great. That file cabinet is genius. Now I'm going to have to go to Christy's channel and check this out. I am so sorry that you are having allergies, and I am right there with you, so I can emphasize. My husband has joined me in it, too. We are hoping we're better soon and hope that for you as well and that the worst is over for you.
