Description:

Got shopping bags? Lunch bags? Party favor bags? Grab 3 - 5 bags, paint/decorate/collage and assemble to make a small magpie journal.

You are making a blank-ish journal for your partner to use to write in, glue or keep as a mini-smash book. You can paint the bags, glue on Gelli prints or book pages, glue scrapbook paper or some other great idea you might have. The pages should be embellishment-free so it is ready for your partner to use out of the envelope.

Forgot to add - you can sew the bags together to bind, use a binding machine (Cinch or Bind-it-All or punch holes and use binder rings.
