Welcome to our Altered Journal Blog Hop! If you came here from Melissa, then you are on the right track! If you happened to stumble upon this hop, you can begin hopping at our host, Pink Polka Dot Scrapping. Our sponsor for this hop is Zannie Berry. She's donating two Cuttlebug folders and ten Colorbok embellie packs! Thanks so much!!
Here's the before pic of my altered journal:
I purchased this at Wal-Mart, but you can get something similar at Dollar General or Dollar Tree. Once I was done working with it, my finished product turned out like this:
I'm REALLY happy with the way the journal turned out! Since this is a travel journal, my first entry would be the first day of a family trip! It has to be just the right trip, though; not just any old weekend trip. I'm waiting for that very special family vacation and will let my boys Kennedy (age 13) and Joseph (age 3) help with the entries. That way, it will be that much more special!
Your next stop is Jenn J. Here's the entire lineup in case you get lost on your way:
