Click HERE for the Getting Cricky Blog Hop **There is still time to enter for a chance to win a set of K Andrew stamps!**
Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you are having a great weekend! I can not seem to get caught up. I feel like I am three steps behind on everything. Plus, I'm trying to update the look of my blog and it is taking me much longer than I thought. I am sorry I haven't been around much to comment...I will work on that soon, I promise!
I do have a project to enter into a few challenges. I saw this image on Campin Critters and knew I wanted to use it for something. It is a camping journal, but I adapted it as a back to school journal so a child can document all the important events throughout the school year. I used my Gypsy to change the wording from "Camp" to "School". I used
K Andrew stamps from her Fashionable Friends set,
You Are Brilliant, to remind the student how smart they are! $1 from every one of these stamp sets sold directly benefits Doorways for Women & Families (an organization helping those escape and survive domestic violence). Buy these stamps with pride knowing you are getting an awesome product and helping those in need!
I have left the inside pages blank for now, but you could add stamped sentiments or images, places for school pictures, the possibilities are endless! Plus, you can add pages as needed to the journal. I used a Nestabilities die for the clasp and attached it with velcro so it holds the book closed.

Your journal came out so great! Love the fun colors and the super positive saying!
I also think this is such a good idea, I realized now that my girls are a little older I really needed to start keeping track of all their achievements and awards for future applications into clubs, check out my little achievement journal I made for my girls:

Great idea to have a journal book at start of new school yr and get them to handwrite which more often seems to be old school when they prefer to enter on computer.

This is a great idea for just about any age kiddo! It could be an autograph book too! I just might lift this if that's OK with you. Hugs, Pam at http://craftycards4u2.blogspot.com/

Isn't it fun how there are oodles of potential uses for this fabulous creation? Excellent work, Lisa!

This is awesome! I love to see journals. They are great to make for ourselves and our kids, but also make fantastic gifts that are likely to be used and well-loved.
Oh my goodness, this is AWESOME!! LOVE how you added the stamp to the front -- Everyone needs to hear that they are brilliant when faced with an 8am college course, right??? I'm so making one of these... :)
