Are you one of those people who just have to touch everything? Is it impossible for you to walk through a fabric store without running your hands down the aisles of fabric? Or are you someone who loves to stroke the sheets of paper at your favorite art store? Well put that obsession to use and make sumptuous, touchable covers for your journals and albums. Not only are they simple to make, they're a great excuse to use up all those yummy papers and fabrics you've been collecting. You know the ones that are carefully stored away, just waiting for that perfect special project? You might even want to give them away--if you can bear it of course.
