hi bloggers!
another of my favorite things to make are personalised journals. i like to use smallish journals with blank pages

here's the journal I made for Janis of Junkdreams, she was sweet enough to blog about it here
Janis loves everything french, so I went with a vintagey french theme and lots of bling
don't forget the back...
tucked a tag inside with a message
and whipped up a lacy burlap bag to gift it in...
remember girls, packaging is everything, who doesn't like to receive a pretty package
this one I made for my mom for a recent trip to visit her sister
I made this one super girly and pink for my sweet mom, with ribbons and lace and tulle...
vintage buttons, rhinestones, a handmade flower
and tucked in a tiny key to unlock her adventures!
kept the back simple and blingy
isn't it pretty!
what I love about journals this size, is you can take them along in your purse - jot down ideas, tuck in ticket stubs, photos, fabric or paper scraps
good idea don't you think? Though I love to write and enjoy the idea of journalling, it never happens in my reality, but so often I see a great idea or scrap of something, which can be added to a mini journal...
and it doesn't have to be perfect, just like us!
and in it's own way it tells a story of who we really are...
Lady Pamela blogged about her version of her art journal here
I'm linking up to these wonderful parties:
happy days,
