I love collecting hard back journals, even though I never even write in some of them. I had this plain, fugly green one, so I painted it white with acrylic paint and went over it with acrylic varnish. I made the design in PSP8 and made sure it was sized so that it would fit on the cover. I printed it, cut it down to size and used decoupage medium to glue it and seal it. I let it dry all the way and went over it again with acrylic varnish (had to use the decoupage first so it wouldn't ruin the ink).
