It's love day and I've made a smashingly romantic journal to celebrate using Eileen Hull's Frame Pocket Journal released in January. The die cuts not only the journal cover, but also a frame and a pocket. I've used the frame here on the front to frame the roses. I've used Graphic 45's Mon Amour collection for this journal which was just re-released!
The closure is a simple elastic band.
Inside, on the front cover, I've used the pocket. It nicely holds a mini journal.
This journal holds 3 signatures, one for photos, one with lined pages and one with blank pages for any use.
On the right side you can see the first signature which is designed to hold photos. I used Eileen's previously release Snail Mail thinlit die and stamps along with Journal Words, Love, from an older Eileen release to embellish the cover.
Pages in this signature:
On the right side I've used the January released Library Pocket Thinlit die. That's a great spot to tuck in a love note.
On the left page I added a pocket die-cut with the Folio Page Pocket Thinlit set (from 2021).
Here I added a waterfall photo section cut with Eileen's 2021 Waterfall die. I'm so glad that Eileen designs her dies to work together in her many different style journals!
Alphanumeric Die
Eileen also released the Thinlits Alphanumeric Die last month. It is such a great alpha die, (and includes numbers too!), the size is perfect for titles like this "Love Notes".
I used a flowery fiber piece along the spine. I love that it hides the elastic bands holding the signatures.

Some of these dies have been retired but you may be able to get them from other online sources or scrapbook stores. I wanted you to see how so many of Eileen's dies work together in her journals.
