That looks great Melissa! How long did it take you to do it?
Looks great! I do like the quote you used. That's a neat website - especially the Quotes & Poems section.

It didn't take me that long at all. I think it took more time for me to = actually figure out which cardstock to use then it did to put it = together. I would say about an hour and a half...
I love the quote you used on your journal. It is SO appropriate and really sets a wonderful tone for what you have in store for your journal. Really nice page.

That looks great! Good for you getting it done! I love the colors and I recognize that flower- it's from the Leeza Gibbons paper isn't it?!!! Great!

Looks Great Melissa. Nice job.
Really Nice Melissa! Thanks for sharing.
I've been seeing the term "altered" around, but I am not really sure what it is.
What's an altered journal?
Thanks!

Here is a link to an article that I found online. Basically, you are altering the original cover of a journal to whatever your heart desires!
Thanks Melissa - that's a great article! Now I feel inspired to do one of my own!
:)
