Blank Journal – Flowers!

Posted on September 1, 2015September 1, 2015 by Ellen Sherman

Awhile back I found a blank journal in my stash of supplies, and put out a call for ideas for the cover. After getting a bunch of great ideas via facebook and twitter – I decided to go with the suggestion of ‘flowers.’ My favorite

And in case anyone wants to purchase the blank journal, here’s a link to the shop!

Have a lovely week friends <3
