Find this picture at the Graphic Fairy.
I find this little Journal book at the Dollar store....
I wanted a special little book on my side table by my bed to write down special dreams and people's names who i needed to pray for.
Got the paper to match...
Printed this Cherub picture on contact sheet (very small).
Got dimensional flower stickers and letters...
I aged all borders of papers with my ink pad. i had the stamp...don't need the "thank you" in middle, but no one will see it...
Placed the Cherub on top of the stamped area...
I placed glue on the spots and covered them with glitter for them to pop.
A silver glitter pen....It is ready...
Do you write your dreams?
Do you remember who you need to pray for everyday?
I love your idea! I have many note books because I love to write my ideas down all the time.
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me to make one spectacular book for my special ideas, cares etc.
Thank you!
Hi Frenchy. I just made something similar last night for my cousin. I will post a picture of it. I used a plain journal book and covered it with paper and ribbon. I was at a crop night at
ReplyDeleteArchivers. They were having free make and takes. I used the trading card they had in one of their projects.
I'm having a scrapbook swap, if you are interested? (((((HUGS))))
I love your book! I don't seem to remember my dreams at all :( Thanks for the follow and I'm following you back!

Such a beautiful little book. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have such great ideas!
Mon Ami... you inspire me each time I visit!
ReplyDeleteI keep a list on a note pad page which I add people's names to include in my prayers- sometimes the page gets misplaced or buried under things then I have to stop and go searching for it before I can continue - this is a great idea. XO HHL
Bon Soir Frenchy,
ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful book! What a wonderful idea! The papers and embellishments are perfect. thanks for the inspiration!
That is absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love how you took a simple book and really made it your own - and I love what you're using it for as well!
ReplyDeletewat a FANTASTIC idea! i don't record my dreams, though it would be cool if i did. i try to remember everybody to pray for...sometimes i forget so then i have to say 2 prayers before going to bed! hahah, i think i like ur idea more.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely book !! Frenchy...i haven't not so beautiful wrotebook......but the things to do i write it up in a simple book...hahahahahh!! love happy sunday ria...
ReplyDeletethis is so lovely, and i think i need something like it to list people i need to pray for. i'll put it on my to do list!
ReplyDeleteNow you've gone and done it... you've made my little spiral notebook look shabby (and I DON'T mean "shabby" as in "shabby chic"). You make EVERYTHING (even a dollar store notebook) look fantastic!! Thanks for the info - guess I better go work on mine now!!! :-)

What a lovely idea! I love embellishing things like notebooks, gift boxes, etc. This would make a nice gift.
ReplyDeleteLovely way to bring a dollar store journal up a notch, Frenchy! I've seen these at the Dollar Tree {with matching pens and file folders} and really like that they are carrying some really pretty things like this. I have to write everything down now, so something like this is always welcome to have nearby!
ReplyDeleteI love the little book u made. It's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove your journal! You have inspired me to make one! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteHi Frenchy,

ReplyDeleteWow, amazing what you did with a Dollar Store notebook! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI always need something to write down things to do, people to see, thoughts that come to mind, etc. It's so good to have them in a notebook where I can refer back to it.
Love it!
Oh this is such a lovely idea!!! You made such a special book.....well..so special! :) You're so creative!

I like this idea. How cute. I need a pad next to my bed so I don't have to get up and look for pad and pen every time an idea (that I know I won't remember in the morning) pops into my head...
ReplyDeleteThanks for you're kind comments. I following you now as well.
Neat blog...
L.
Beautiful, simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to keep by your bed. It always seems that you have good ideas at night and if you had a place to write them as you got up...
ReplyDeleteIf this were by my bedside, I would get more inspired. Loved the tutorial, it was really helpful.
What a beautiful book! It is completely inspiring ;)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I love your style. It takes talent and an artists eye to transform a dollar store find into a boutique chic treasure! So glad I hopped on by from The Girl Creative! Best, Jenn/Rook No. 17

Lovely. What a wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifully altered book! Just this morning, I was wishing I had a book at my nightstand to write down what I remember of my dreams. They always have So much in them and by the time I'm up & feeding my kidlets, it all drifts away. Thanks for the inspiration! :>
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! That turned out so nice. I love the idea of having a notebook on my nightstand to jot down prayers and dreams. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteFrenchy you are so talented!! You never cease to amaze me! I could get lost for hours on your blog... I have to admit, sometimes I do! Ha! Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Frenchy,
ReplyDeleteKaren has the greatest graphics, doesn't she?
Keeping a dream journal and a prayer journal is just the beginning. :0) We've now begun a wildlife journal..there is so much that comes to visit us that we decided it would be really neat to look back on it years down the road.
Pop over for a visit when you have a moment.
Happy Day,
Stephanie ♥
I love this idea! I used to write down my dreams & I still do if its interesting :) Found you on Simply Designing.
ReplyDeletegreat idea! Thanks for planting your creative seeds at Plant a Punkin Seed Party. It's almost too pretty to write in!

Hi Frenchy,
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful!!! I've had the same idea on my mind for awhile now, I'm planning on making a box version of the same thing. Your notebook is gorgeous! You are such a beautiful person, inside and out! I hope all your dreams are happy ones.
Hugs,
Karen
A lovely book...so pretty. I always say I am going to write down my dreams and I never do...maybe I need a pretty book.
ReplyDeleteLove you book! Very cute idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up for Friday Favorites!
Visiting from PS. Come by selfsagacity and say hi sometime. Love what you did with the dollar store notebook. Very upscale.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I need to create a notebook for myself to carry with me. I'm always coming up with AMAZING ideas (promise, they are all amazing) that I tend to forget since I didn't write them down! This is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteoh, and thanks for linking up to Topsy Turvy Tuesday's!
ReplyDeleteWanted to thank you first for stopping by my blog and leaving such such a sweet comment. Love your book and what a great idea. May have to do this one. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteHi there!
ReplyDeleteI was directed here to this post by High Heel Life after she saw my post today about my prayer journal. I'm so glad she did. I love your idea of decorating an inexpensive journal.
I've enjoyed my visit here. I'd love for you to come visit me sometime.
Hugs,
Kat
This would be a beautiful place to record those things you don't want to forget. I love all the details.
ReplyDeleteFrenchy,
ReplyDeleteI don't write down my dreams but I do keep a prayer list - although not is something quite so pretty!
I don't write down my dreams and I don't remember everyone I should pray for. I need one of those cute little books!
ReplyDeletevery cute little altered notebook. I have several, i love to record my wacky little notions and ideas!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful dream book.
ReplyDeleteI have a little notepad and pencil beside my bed that I use, but I never would have thought about making it 'dreamy' looking.
Thanks for this clever idea and beautiful stop on our little journey through Alphabe-Thursday.
You are really talented.
A+
Great Journal. I am starting one again (I've started a few, and never got far) but today is my 25th wedding anniversary, I think i shall start a new one tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYours is lovely!! and may I say Frenchy you are getting very good at using PS and airbrushing!!
