Semi-Homemade Journal Six

I cheated on this journal.

I found a journal kit at JoAnn Fabrics on clearance for only $3. It came with a 16 page journal, envelopes, vintage stickers, rub-ons, embellishments, and scrapbook paper. I thought I’d give it a try and see how it turned out.

Journal six is, “be amazing.”

Cover with open envelope.

Instead of labeled tabs, I used a nylon ribbon with square brads.

I did end up using some of my own embellishments, some of which matched the theme made by the same company.

I added some extra pretty papers attached by a cute brad.

My husband said he “liked it,” but it wasn’t his favorite so far. I thought for the price and contents I’d see how it worked out, and I’m pretty pleased with the outcome. It’s not as “unique” as the others, but I think it still has a “feel” about it that I hope someone will enjoy. It’s a bit more simplistic than the others, and of course, the devotionals aren’t included in this one or the mini-journals. They will be included separately.
