Cereal Box Journals

I'm in a cereal box journal swap
on
Christian Paper Artists Yahoo Group....

This is what I made yesterday to send off...

I really like it and want to make more, more, more....

what a great way to use up stuff.

And some of my favorite papers that I don't want to use -

I need to make one of these for ME!

Then I can just sit and hold my favorites in a book form

and one day maybe I'll actually write in it!!!

The page below with the woman and the quote
is torn from an Anthropologie catalog.
I added the little rubber stamp on the bottom corner.....
who actually inspired us to make these.
...go make one and show me!

  1. Great minds think alike! :D See my post today for a page made out of a biscotti box. LOL. Too funny!

    I think a whole journal would be really cool, I'll have to try it.

  10. Totally cool idea! you really are the best! although I can hear the BIA from here muttering about being superseded by a couple of metal rings, it WILL rust if you don't use it, no really it will...
