This is one of those crafts that looked much better in my head then it did after it was completed. I got the idea while looking online one day. The original craft was a recycled journal with a cover made from a cereal box, which I loved, but the problem is we don't eat cereal...well we do, but not the sugar filled delicious kind with the pretty boxes, so I had to use a plain piece of cardboard that I got from work. Because it was plain, I had to decorate it and that's where it went really down hill. I used clippings from Vogue and yellow acrylic paint. Just not what I had in mind. I'll let you be the judge.
Before, the paper, cardboard and string I used to make the journal:
Here is the journal all bound, sorry for the poor picture quality:
And the inside of the first page:
And here is the outside all collaged and painted, not too happy with it though:
