I wanted to make a Baptism Journal...
Got this picture of my boy ...
Then, i find this old notebook...
Chose DCWV Linen closet paper...
Chose the 2 papers i liked with picture...
Got some Canvas from Home Basics...
Cut 2 long pieces taking some thread off the edges.
Tied and glued the two ends behind the cover front.
Used my EK success punch...
Made a tag, punched a hole too.
Stamped my boy initial...
Used some twine to attach the tag on the bow.
Date and name...Ready to hold all the memories of the day !
I placed this picture from the Graphic Fairy in the first page with my name and his name.
I think this is a great idea for any event in a boy's life.
I love the blues and the black and white picture...

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the baptism of your son. Beautiful journal!
ReplyDeleteSo creative. It turned out wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteThat is something he will have to treasure his whole life. I love it and you did a wonderful job putting it all together. It is easy to go frilly and girly..but harder to do this kind of thing for a boy. Hugs- Diana

ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. A treasure of his special event.
