Project: Stamped and Painted Journal Cover

May 2, 2016 by Heather Holbrook

Project: Stamped and Painted Journal Cover

If you have a plain fabric journal, notebook, scrapbook or organizer dress it up with some paints and stamps like Lea did.

Find out her tips for decorating your own journal over on the (th)INK Positive blog.
