Field Journal/Creative Box

I was fortunate enough
to be an elf 
for Santa this year

A friend had a dilemma
Her dtr wanted a field journal
like in the Tinkerbell movie

She didn't know where to get one
and she posted it on fb

I've made a lot of journals 
so I was up 
for a challenge
and offered to help
 or make one

I started off covering the
 front, back and insides
with glittery cardstock
(from Joanns)
I cut the letters
out with Cricut
using the exclusive alphabet
in the craft room
I added a
Tinkerbell Sticker
and gems


I also added ribbon ties

I covered the pocket
with Tinkerbell paper
(from Joanns)


The tag
says:


(from the movie)


I didn't want to over embellish
since this was her creativity
journal
I gathered it all up 
in a plastic container
and applied her name 
on the outside
(cut out of vinyl
w/Cricut Calligraphy)


I had a lot of extras 
I added into the box
and her Mom bought
some doo-dads too









Santa wrapped it up
for delivery
shhhh don't tell anyone
I helped Santas this yr


I haven't heard yet 
on her reaction

  1. What a great idea! I wish I had a granddaughter or artistic grandson. Maybe I'll have to make one for myself. You are so creative.
