These are so easy and fun to make. Lauren taught me. She's amazing. It's just a composition book made pretty with scrapbook things; paper, ribbon, etc.
I made these using paper from themed packs but you can pull together different patterns from anyplace. Then you trim the paper and Mod Podge it on there (matte Mod Podge is best).
Once you have your paper on the way you like it, on the front and back as well as on the inside, add ribbon and stickers and embellishments where ever you like. I made ribbons extra long to serve as bookmarks. Lauren staples cute ribbon to different pages throughout the journal. I also put quotes and things throughout the pages - inspirational quotes or something that goes with the theme of the journal; I used Shakespeare with the Fairytale theme and travel quotes with a travel themed journal (not shown here).
My friend, Sheryl, made some of these for the kids she nannies. They loved them. It's a fun journal to use and just so pretty.

WoW!!! These are gorgeous. i wish I knew how to make them so that i could make them for my nieces :-)
I need to learn to make these as well. This is seriously the best journal ever. It fits places and is easy to write in and lovely. And I think it would be fun to make some. You should move back here so we can be crafty together. Or so you can be crafty and I can be gluey.
