ART Journal

Here's an easy book to make for your kids, or yourself!! This Art Journal uses one of SU's premade little chipboard books. All you have to do is decorate!! Instead of removing the cover, you can always use the spiral punch, lining up the holes and punch the cover cardstock to fit the cover. I have done this many times.
