The Folder That Became A Journal
As promised here is a slide show of the File Folder turned into a Journal. This journal is broken up into three sections. Each section has Journal Pages and a Pocket, the journals I created in Excel then printed them front and backside. I used some Tim Holtz stamps and Distress Ink along with a few rub ons. The soon to be owner of this journal is not a flashy gal so it was kept simple. I think I will make another and add man more embellishments to it. The folders I found at Marshall's Home Goods section. When I spotted them I just knew I had to have them. But, I couldn't tuck them away in a drawer! So, journals they will become and cards too. The journal cover was cut to an 8.5 by 6.75. The section that was left over I used to cut a butterfly out and then one piece was left the size of a card. I will alter that and get back to you with a photo. For now here are photos of the project. Hope you enjoy them and let me know if you have any questions.

I love this!! I wish I could be more creative. The color of your craft room is beautiful too..I adore green and want to paint mine. After painting our laundry room, I don't think I can talk DH into painting anything for a LONG time!
What a beautiful folder, Nancy. How did you get the lined pages in front? Stamp? Computer? Looks fab!

Aimeslee, thanks! I used excel to create the lined pages. I looked to see if I had a large digital journal brush and no luck.
