I had made another watercolor journal and painted a page in watercolor, regretting it later for a cover. It would run, smudge, get ruined. What's wrong with me, it's only paper, okay- hot pressed Fabriano artistico. But I did want a strong cover that would't bend easily. I had bought Violette's DVD "Teen Dream Journal" so I started that, and going back to this page later, after I made a cardboard cover. I like working on several things at the same time.
I was going to gesso the cardboard first, but I wound up using acrylic paint, and using Violette's blog as a guide painted the cover.

Mama Cass sang it "dream a little dream of me" but for a cover of a journal, I thought this worked.
