Embellished Journals


Howdy there!  Just wanted to share with you a very QUICK and EASY project you can do to make these adorable embellished journals for yourself or for a gift.  Basically, I found these journals in packs of three at Michaels in their discount aisle.  They had patterened covers--some were just monochromatic, and others had detailed designs like the map and butterfly image above.  I then headed over to the scrapbook embellishment aisles and picked out some metal accents (keys, locks), and some rhinestone flourish stickers (amber colored).  Then, I simply either atttached the rhinestone flourish sticker (butterfly journal) or tied some hemp around the cover and attached the metal key and then stuck on the metal lock (map journal).  Voila!  Easy peasy cute and clever journals for your purse or for a quick gift or stocking stuffer!  Who doesn't love a cute place to jot down their thoughts or lists?

Have a creative day and, as always, thanks for stopping by!
