Dream, Hope, Wish Journal
By Susan Cobb

Need a quick and easy project or gift idea? This journal will not only inspire your paper-crafting creativity, but also give you (or the recipient) the perfect place to jot down their dreams, goals and hopes.

Supplies:

• blank 3" square journal
• patterned Paper Pizazz®: tan and brown papers from Mixing Words & Textured Papers
• Embossed Tape-Style Fragments Cut-Outs
• leather cord, rusted key from Garden Gate Treasures
• white ribbon from Paper Pizazz® Coconut Fiber Pack

Instructions:

Susan removed the journal cover, and covered it with brown textured paper, then reattached it. She cut a 2 7/8" square of the words paper, centering the square so the break between the tan and brown collage falls in the middle of the square. Next Susan cut out "dream," "hope" and "wish" and matted each on light tan textured. She wrapped the white ribbon around the front cover of the journal, 1" from the right side, knotting the ends at the top.

Susan attached the tape-style fragments to the ribbon as shown. She folded the leather cord in half, then threaded it through the key and knotted the ends.
