Altered journal

I stumbled upon a VERY ugly $1.00 journal at Target the other day...  I mean it was REALLY ugly!  It just seemed like if a little girl was gonna be shopping in the dollar bin at a store, it should at least be for something cute!

I took the ugly journal home..... added cute paper ... ribbon ... flowers ... gems ... and a paper piecing  ... and this is what you get ...

Now THIS is something for a little girl to cherish and enjoy!

For this project I used paper from the SEI chocolat line and a Bear in Butterfly costume paper piecing from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.
