*NEW* My Beloved is Mine (Journal Cover)

I have more or less always kept a journal. There have been periods of time when the entries were scarce, but there is always one nearby and I find the act of putting my thoughts down with ink onto paper to be very cathartic. Having seen a few journal and book covers online, I thought I would try my hand at designing one as well.

The front cover features a colonial couple surrounded by a laurel wreath and the words "My Beloved is Mine" and "Solomon's Song Chap. 2". The back cover has another wreath, this time holding the words, "His left hand is under my head and his right hand doth embrace me". Instructions included will walk you through the assembly of the journal cover, including a ribbon marker and pen loop, all measurements intended to fit this specific journal.

Used for writing about daily life, as a way to count your blessings, or as a project and inspiration tracker, if you haven’t started the habit of daily writing yet, give it a try! Perhaps this sweet little cover design will be all the initiative you need to get started.
