Kids Say the Darnedest Things!

I love that show with both Art Linkletter and much later, Bill Cosby were the hosts! I made this journal for the next Magnolia-licious Big Birthday Bash challenge for the Yahoo group's 2nd birthday celebration! I've linked the blog, but the new challenge isn't posted yet so I won't spill the beans! My little journal fits the challenge so you'll have to guess for now!! I'm okay with being a little early-I missed the BLING challenge completely so I didn't want to miss this one!

They are making the $1.00 journals at Michael's cuter than ever, but nothing is better than covering one for a one of a kind gift! It is so easy to bend the binder wires and slip the cover off and then to put it back on that you've gotta try it! I've used one of my favorite Edwin's (maybe even my FAVORITE!) and colored him up in bright colors to match the Bo Bunny paper.

My idea with the journal is for my nephew and his wife (We're seeing them today! Yeah!!). Their little guy is 2-1/2 years old and I think it would be fun for them to have this journal handy to write some of the funny things he says as he learns about language! (It doesn't hurt that Roberta's favorite color is orange, either!) What do you think of this idea?

You can also let me know what you think of the little "nose" shading I've given Edwin. Does it work or look silly?

Here are the copics I used:

Skin E000, E11, E30

Jeans BG10, BG72 and BG18

Lizard: YG21, YG23, YG17

Sneakers R22, R29, R46 and R59 with a little Y17 at the end for the orange highlight.

Shirt (had a tough time with this!) Y21, YR12, YR15, YR18

Diana's Journal

Good Saturday morning! I don't like to go without posting on a Saturday, but I'm itching to get outside! I made this journal for Diana Crick a short while back. Diana said she is going to keep her "to do" lists in it! I use a similar one to keep Stampin' friends addresses and birth dates . That being said, it doesn't always mean they get a card on time! LOL! If it looks familiar to you, THANK YOU! That means you are a regular visitor here! I made a similar journal for our WNY Springfest gathering as my gift exchange gift. Diana's is the taller thinner journal from Michael's and I added one of those great Sizzix daisies to hers.

I hope you like my brief post. I'll try to get a more patriotic card done later. Edwin with his oar is so anxious to be inked up and colored with America's beautiful colors!

God Bless America!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl
