Stamps Only Sunday

Good Morning!  It's a busy day for me today, so I have to be quick with my post.  I don't have a card to share with you today.  Yesterday I had some time to myself, which most people would covet and cherish.  Not me, I have too much time to myself during the week.  I need a job!  Anyway, Hollyanne and Levi were at my Mom's and Brendan went to a friends house - so I turned on my favorite tunes and altered a composition book.

I really had fun with this!  I used the sketch from Just Magnolia as inspiration for how to decorate the cover.  I am sending this to a friend of mine - I hope she likes green, because there sure is a lot of it!  I picked green because it's a calming color.  I was also inspired by Crazy 4 Challenges to use bling.  I think the rhinestones on the ribbon looks really good.

Here's the inside front cover.  I used a digital frame that I colored digitally before printing.  I imported the frame into my word program and sized it.  Then I added a text box in the center of the frame and added a Scripture verse.  Then I did something crazy....

I stamped the flower and swirly leaves on every single page of this journal.  Although in this picture the leaves look black, they really are green.
