Wow, I don't think I've ever been so late to Paint Party Friday before- but I did make it! My entry this week was inspired by several people.
1. When I was doing my blog rounds this week, I came across a gratitude journal by Terri of Pringle Hill Studio and fell in love with the idea of making my own.
2. A couple weeks ago, Amy shared the idea of painted on recycled book covers- I've been dying to try it!
3. Hettienne, our newest team member of Inspiration Avenue set our theme this week to be "Keys" and I knew I wanted to incorporate it into my journal.....
Finally, I've been wanting to find a base design for creating books that I could use to make garden journals, recipe files; really anything I can think of! Here's the link that I'm going to use to finish this with: Make a Book
Anyway, I was so excited that this combined all these sources of inspiration- AND I'll finally have something pretty for sketching and journaling! I'm going to fill it with a combination of card stock, canvas paper and watercolor papers so I can fill it with a variety of things....SO excited about this!
Be sure to stop by Paint Party Friday to see what everyone else has been up to!
Have a great weekend!
