This journal was by far one of the funnest projects I've worked on in quite some time :) It was fun to get out a bunch of supplies and see what looked best where. To pair my thoughts with scrapbook supplies. To know that I was sending this on to someone who will love it :)
I took a very random approach to this journal. We were given 31 topics or projects to write about throughout the month. We were to start with #1, but from there we could write about any one we wanted. And rather than write each topic on each page, I decided to label each page with the corresponding topic number.
I used every color in the rainbow to make this journal fun and pretty :) Lots of pages had photos with them (I am a scrapbooker after all!). And each of them is a story about my life :)
As you can see above, I finally decided on a cover. It may seem backwards, but this was actually the last step in my journal. I created all of the pages, then found the paper I wanted for the cover and created it last.
Here are a few more pages I hadn't shown yet:

it's beautiful, Edi! Yes, it does sound backwards, fixing the cover last, but what a great idea! So appropriate for a friend! I know Erika will love it! {:-Deb

ReplyDeleteEdi, your journal is so colorful and pretty! It is certainly a keeper. I'm sure Erika will treasure it.
