I have a couple of nieces
that are having birthdays soon
I found these booklets
at Michael's for $2
They really didn't fit the young ladies style
They easily came apart
The ribbon
holds the pages in
I just untied them
and took the pages out
The pages
The top did have
some chipboard
embellishments
I took off with
an exacto knife
for future use
I also lightly sanded
the top for the glue
I just cut the paper to the
journal size
and glued it on with
uhu glue
Since this is a gift
I'm not showing the name
Some of the areas
are painted
so they are raised
Inside cover
I made pockets out of leftover papers
I used my Cricut
to make the shapes
I used Glossy Accents
to make the petals raised
What it Says
just a little book
for you to keep your
keepsakes
secrets....thoughts
dreams...hopes
or just some doodles
Inside back cover
What you can't see well is
the 16 is raised
Tag
I'm still trying to decide
if I want to put ribbons
on the tags
What do you think?
I am still working on the 2nd one
