Journals I am making ..............

I went on a search for a journal to give a dear friend as a gift .........however there wasnt a journal to be found that I actually liked. So i experimented on a notebook of mine i keep with bills and then my diary............they came out great. I used some Laurel Hamilton notecards for the pictures and then modpodged them to the books.  Since it turned out well I plan to buy a blank journal and fix up the one for a gift next..............
