Junior High Journal Party!

Whew!! I just had five junior highers, plus a junior high leader in my house for a crafty night of journal making! Melanie is in a "Cadre" group (small group) at our church, and she wanted to host a night where the girls could hang out. Their leader is a really fun, spunky, almost-21-year-old whom all the girls connect with and love. Anyway, I digress....OK. The journals! Melanie and I made up some packets with precut cardstock papers with matching scrapbook paper, so the girls wouldn't have to do much prep. We made a sample journal, and each girl made basically the same style with different papers. Some got creative with paper punches, too. Then the journal itself tied closed with a ribbon. Here is Melanie's cute monogram journal:


The journal is made from a composition book, that Melanie covered with paper, and punched out flowers that she layered at the bottom right hand corner......
