A summer journal

I was inspired by Marcy's online class last night at MSS to make a summer journal for Austin. I thought this would be a great way to get him writing over the summer holidays.

So here it is:



I tweaked it a little from Marcy's. I didn't have the tabbed index cards, so I made my own with my tab punch. I decided that since Austin's favourite colour is orange, the Scenic Route Grafton line of patterned papers would be perfect for this.



Marcy's journal had a space for the date stamped on each page. I loved this idea, but didn't have a date stamp, so I made my own in Word and printed it out on each index card. I thought, too, since I didn't have that many index cards, that Austin could write on the front & the back of each page, so I printed the date on the back side as well.







I love that because it's bound with binder rings, that we can add photos of the summer as well.

I mean, he. He can add photos, since you know, it's for him. Yeah.

Here's hoping he uses it. ;)
