spruced-up journals?


although i dig a good moleskin, i've never splurged to buy my very own. i've never thought my scribbles were of that caliber; hence the dollar store journal. and the dollar store mac tac! usually i line my drawers with this stuff or the odd box, but thought it would be fun to do a little craft project with these one dollar journals and some sticky faux wood. here's my tutorial pics! ha!

your notebook is so pretty!
hooray for woodgrain contact paper!
it also works great on covering up those standard ugly plastic 3 ring binders too!
