Decorative Journals

Today I am sharing a couple of journals I made using DSP and embellishments.  I used the regular composition notebooks that go on sale before school starts.  These make great gifts, I have given quite a few away and the recipients have always loved them.

This first journal is a fun one.  I used the cute Gnome stamp set that we had.  I actually made this journal for a hostess who has a great sense of humor.  I thought she might like the cute gnome and next to her I stamped "gnome peeking".  She loved it and got exactly what I was going for!  Here is a close up of the focal point.

This second journal was also for a hostess, this one I made using her favorite colors.

I put her first initial as the focal point and I added a pretty ribbon bookmark decorated with a fancy flower.  Here is a closer look.

I ended up loving this particular journal so much that I made several for the bookstore to sell.  I love the ribbon bookmark, it really adds a nice touch.  Both journals are covered with DSP.  I just measured the area I wanted to cover and cut that size.  Then I used sticky strip around the edges to attach the paper to the notebook.  Once done I simply trimmed the corners to make them rounded. 
I hope you like these great gift ideas.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
