Starting My 39th Year

I decided to do a journal for the year from my 38th birthday to my 39th. It'll be part junk journal, part art journal, a little 365ish, & mostly all about me. I didn't do so well on my 365 album(only made it to April), so I hope this goes better.

I started with this journal I picked up on clearance somewhere.(???)It's Joe Boxer brand.

I took it apart. Punched bigger holes for the binder rings.

Covered the covers with patterned paper.

Cut a bunch of cardstock, patterned paper & water color paper for pages.

I'm also using some of the original pages for journaling. Covering up the boxer logo in the corner with various embellishments.

The front cover, titled & decorated.

Chipboard letters(painted & shimmer sprayed) & stamping for the title.

Silk flower & stick pins I made for a Counterfeit Kit. Go here for my blog post.


The title page.

My first day of journaling.
