Tell Your Story Journal



So I am officially caught up with my Tell Your Story journal... and the class hasn't even started yet.. oops. I made an extra page because I'm cool like that. I call it my cover page, so original right? I was so happy that the weather is finally warm enough to take pics outside, so that's just what I did. I Used nature as my background!

The journal I used (if anyone is curious) was one like this. Mine has black pages though, that I painted. I also painted the front cover. It was normally the Kraft color and it took me awhile to get around the spiral part, but I love the way it turned out. Simple and cute :)

I was inspired by the Elsie painting I just bought, the treasure map symbols came out sooo cute (took forever trying to get paint everything even though :)







Here is the cover page I made, my introduction to my introduction you could say...



It took me forever to make this page, I think because of having to wait on the stamps and the Stickles to dry. Oh and the paint, I used a pretty blue grey color.




And here is my first 2 pages. I did them a little different then the directions.



Instead I used words I would use to describe myself :)



The next page I wrote down some things that I love :)



Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!! Tonight is scary movie night at my house, but before that we are going to a carnival at Hayden's school!! FUN!!! :D

What are your plans?

xoxo,
Lindsay

  1. Oh, I love them all, Linds!!!! So great!
    I want to work on mine this weekend! This makes me want to work on them RIGHT NOW!!!
    I'm going to be cleaning and redoing my bedroom and working on my craft room to get it "just right" and move stuff around. If I'm feeling extra energetic, I may paint some walls, but we'll see. I don't want to get too crazy. ;)
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!
    Love you!!!!
