Magnifique mini journals

     This year I sent little first-day-of-school treats to the girls’ teachers.  They got paper cones full of chocolate, treats, and these mini altered journal sets using Close to My Heart’s beautiful Magnifique paper.

     I paid $2 a piece for the little journals at Staples thinking I was getting a pretty good deal until I found TWO PACKS at the DOLLAR STORE!  So  of course I loaded up, and if I know you personally, guess what you’re getting for your anniversary??  : )

     My favorite trick/tip with this set is the matching pen.  I get RSVP pens (the medium point are my favorite) specifically.  That’s because you can unscrew the top, take out the ink, shove in a 6” x 1/2” piece of rolled up scrap paper, put the ink back in a voila!  People will think you’re a genius!
