I think this is my favourite craft mafia poster so far.

I love to write and to draw when i get bored on the train and was looking for a new diary today.
I came across a blogger/etsy seller/ crafter on a forum a while ago who goes by the name Lertsis. She makes all of these really nice journals and so I decided to make my own.
I did a test run before I used any expensive materials. Here's my first attempt:

I used strong brown wrapping paper for the cover,



white cartridge paper for the insides,



and a layer of grease proof paper between the two to mask the underside of the pink stitching.
I know 'grease proof paper' doesn't sound so nice but it does the trick!
