Hidden Journaling inside two small booklets:

A mother's memo:
Times above don't account for interruptions to break up arguments, potty training breaks for 2 year old (Emma) , accident clean-ups from potty training 2 year old, diaper changes for baby Grace, getting drinks of water for little ones, answering questions for a 6 year old (Trey), hubby and Ashley; as well as other Mommy things. LOL
Notes:
1. I cut the patterned paper to fit onto the page then tore the slate colored cardstock to fit along the bottom.
2. I made two small booklets using the German chocolate cardstock. Printed my day onto the tan cardstock and adhered it to the insides of the booklets.
3. I used a square clip to hold the two booklets closed.
4. I printed the date onto a strip of tan cardstock, adhered that to the page with a brad, and slipped a scrap piece of the German Chocolate cardstock behind it. Then inked it with the distress ink.
5. The titles of the two booklets are also printed onto tan cardstock, adhered to page, a nailhead is attached to the strips, and strips are distressed with the ink.
6. I used a mini safety pin to attach the corner of the memo block which is also inked.
7. The background papers are also distressed.
8. Center of clocks on booklets are distressed, a brad holds the handmade clock hands in place.
