Decoupaged Journal

Yesterday, i was looking for a new sketch book/journal that i can always bring with me wherever i go. I couldn't find one that has a hard cover., so i just bought an office note pad and made hard cover from illustration board- then decoupaged it with old magazine pages . i love love love Mod podge! it is easy to apply, easy to clean and dries clear and glossy.  Elmers Glue, is another option just thin it with few drops of water (@ 3 :1 ratio), i prefer mod podge though. Dries fast and gentle on papers...

Anyways, here are the few shots of my decoupaged journal. :) obviously, i love beads!
glossy isn't it?

why not make one? hard bound journal is super expensive... this is cheap and you can make your own design...
enjoy!
