Diva Journal in Steampunk Style

Is there a fabulous lady in your life who qualifies as a Diva?  I have one in mind for this gift journal as her long-awaited graduation gift is a trip to Paris where I’m sure she’ll be writing notes, saving ephemera and doing a little sketching in famous museums.  If you have an artistic Diva in your circle of friends this is a one of a kind handmade gift she can treasure.


Diva Journal in Steampunk Style

Directions:

1.  Create a Master board.
