Hey friends! Sorry it has taken me so long to post a fab project for you today! I was out bargain hunting with my mom, lets just say we hit the mother load!
Now on to the business ;)! I came across the cutest idea a couple weeks ago that I thought to put my own spin on it and add to it. It was a journal to put your creative ideas in. So sorry I forgot what site it was (don't ya hate that!), if you guys know who's it is or where you have seen it please let me know so I can give them credit! Much THX!!
I really have been needing a journal of some sort to store ideas for future projects and such so I came with this!!
{Cook Me, Inspire Me, Wear Me Journals!!}Materials you will need:
-Composition Notebooks
{I found 2 of mine for $1.00 each at Target and I purchased the third one at the D.I./local Utah thrift store for $0.75!!}
-Mod Podge
-Sponge brush to apply Mod Podge
-Various Scrapbook Paper
-I used magazine clippings that inspired me for the pages inside but you can just write things down or whatev is best for you.
Directions:
1. Pick out paper that is pleasing.
2. Apply a layer of Mod Podge to the notebook to adhere your chosen paper.
3. Let dry.
4. Trim off excess.
5. Repeat to other sides.
6. Make and print off labels for the front of your notebook to describe its contents.
7. Adhere with Mod Podge.
8. Apply a layer of Mod Podge to all sides of the book to seal.
9. Fill your little books to your hearts content!
10. As I said earlier I added magazine pic's into mine with my own little notes next to them.

ReplyDeleteTracey
LOVE these journals...they take me back to childhood when I used to keep scrapbooks like this. I really need to do this to keep myself organized...I need a "Blog Me!" one!

Hello! Stopping by from Tuesday Tag-Along and am now a new follower. Wow, you are creative! Love the idea of the journals.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Love the "cook me" because it's such a super fun way to store your recipes!
ReplyDeletetoo darling! what a clever idea to divide it up! hi from anti-procrastination tues!
ReplyDeleteI have a notebook just like this with gardening pics. I just need to make the cover gorgeous! Great stuff! Thanks. I guess I could call mine "Grow Me" :)
ReplyDeleteThese are cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Love the Inspire me. I need more inspiration. But I would definitely use them all. I NEED a cook me one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting!
~Ela
This is a great way to keep inspiration organized!
ReplyDeletei really love this idea. i have so many ideas and recipes floating around, this is a great way to get it organized!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteI'm your newest follower from Tuesday Tag-Along and can't wait to read what else you've got to say!
Stop by when you've got a chance.

These are SUPER cute! And handy! Thanks for helping us have a great party!

such a great idea, and much cuter than my sad 3 ring binder. i only have the decorating inspiration notebook so far. i definitely need to add the cooking and fashion ones as well. i think this is such a great way to declutter your home by only saving the magazine pages you need.
ReplyDeleteGood Idea. I am always storing my ideas in various notebooks, then I can't find the recipe, or fabric when I want it.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you!!
I am totally going to make these. I love your hair short in your picture, but I am sure it will look gorgeous long too!
ReplyDeleteOh what a great DIY project. You are one clever and crafty girl.
ReplyDeleteI just finished a project that took 23 years to complete.
Come take a peek.
Very cute idea. My recipes are mostly printouts just in a bulging file folder, your idea is much cuter :)
ReplyDeleteSO cute and clever! Love the fabric combos, they are smashing. But are you sure there is enough room in these notebooks? You have a very creative mind, so maybe these are just Volume 1.
ReplyDeleteThat's super cute!!! Visiting from Coastal Charm's linky party

Hey there! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower from Tuesday Tag Along. I hope you'll stop by and follow me too.
And these are so cute! I love them! I'll have to give it an attempt :).

love this idea! which is why i gave you an award on my blog!
ReplyDeleteWow, I LOOOOVE these. They all look so great and are totally fun!
ReplyDeleteI still can't get enough of your beebs sign, so I featured you today on LTC. Come have a look! And have a great week! :)
There you go again- being super creative and crafty. That's what you do! I really want to do a "Cook Me" journal!
ReplyDeleteHi! New follower from TTA! Hope you will do the same!
ReplyDelete-Kimberly
I love the idea of making cute books for all your ideas to store in. I think I might just have to make the inspire me one.
ReplyDeleteI love composition books I altered
ReplyDeletea few myself gald to see I am not alone. I love any reason to break out the Mod podge(Found you on Room to Inspire)
Please stop by www.scrapaddict4sure.com
WOW! These are totally cute! and such a great idea to help keep track of all thing that inspire you! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love the cookbook one.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Vicky
They look great....and the hair is fab! LOL! :)
ReplyDelete~Kim
so creative. Love the Wear Me one especially. I'd love if you linked this up to my Scrappy Saturdays.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea!! Thank you for sharing this with us. I must share it with more people! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I have a binder for decor inspiration but I'm not much of a cook so these little cuties would be perfect for what i would pull together. I like the wear me one too. I have just cut outfits out and put them on a bulletin board in my closet. This is so much cuter and takes up less space. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeletePam
oooh fun idea! I need a place for all the pictures that I rip out of mags. My nightstand drawer just isn't cutting it:) Thanks for linking!
ReplyDeleteOnce more, you are amazing! Love it and if I had a moment (like right now) then I would make those. So Cute! Thanks for linking up to We Can Do It Cheaper as always! You are so faithful!!
ReplyDeletelove it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining Get Your Craft on Thursday at Life As Lori. Please join me next week for another great party.
Such an awesome idea. I need to make some too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating in the Creative Therapy session at Life in the Pitts!
I'm featuring this today!
ReplyDeletehttp://lanieree.blogspot.com/2010/05/featuring-you_21.html
What a neat way to organize your thoughts! I need one that says "Read Me" :)
ReplyDeleteSarah

These are classy looking and look very useful, too. I might have to make me a few.
ReplyDeleteElisabeth
So fab! I love them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to organize all those inspirational things we come across on a daily basis. And displayed in a book they are so much more accessible than in a zip lock bag...like mine are:-)
ReplyDeleteLOVE these journal
