Prayer Journal - Heartfelt Creations

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for some Heartfelt Creations inspiration!  This week I have a spiral notebook that I bought at Michaels for $.50 and altered into a prayer journal.  The notebook is 6" x 6" so it's perfect for the 6" x 6" designer paper blocks in the Floral Key Paper Collection.  Here is the "before" picture showing how I removed the covers.

Here is the front of the book after altering it.  Looks a little bit nicer doesn't it?  You can click on the photos for a better view.

 Here is the inside cover with image of Matthew 7:7.

 Here are the back covers.

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #109 - Anything goes

Thank you for stopping by!

Blessings!
