I recently made this little journal for a customer to give as a college graduation gift to a friend. The friend was graduating from college in Ohio then moving to Pennsylvania, so I used a map of Ohio on the front cover and Pennsylvania on the back. The pages are a mix of different kinds of paper and there is fold out flap in the back to hold stray bits. I rounded the corners of the covers and inside pages with a corner rounder punch I just got and am pretty happy with the results, it's amazing the difference it makes in giving it that extra finished touch. The dictionary page in the front came from an old 1930's Merriam Webster library discard, and, lastly, check out what I found tucked into the back...
If you're interested in having me make a custom journal for you, let me know! I can personalize it with maps of anywhere in the world. It's a perfect gift for graduations and also would make a great Father's Day present!
