It's all good



I made this journal for my niece, Irene. She's coming down from San Jose this weekend. The stripe, pink and polka dot papers are from Making Memories Cheeky Collection-Abby; it's a 6x6 pad I had for 4 years, just now used it! Geez! The brown and flower papers are from the free paper pads I received from Colorbok. I first wrapped the ribbon all the way around the notebook, don't want to chance it coming off. I used Mod Podge to adhere the ribbon and paper to the composition. I cut a piece of chipboard (cereal box) and attached the brown paper to give it stability, I then used my Creative Memories large circle punch and punched the circles from scraps. I used pop dots to then adhere to the front cover and added some faux stitching with my Creative Memories fine tip pens; had them forever surprise they still write!
I used Stardust Gelly Roll to finish up the title.

The good thing about paper is it never really goes out of style huh? I am a paper hoarder. I have paper I bought years and years ago also. But when I do FINALLY use it, I never think.. "Oh this is old and out of style" lol

Great book I am sure she will love it!!
