Guest Post: DIY journal

Hi lovelies, I'm introducing a new thing around this blog today. Guest posts!

I'm sure by now you know of my baby sister, the awesome-ly talented Waliya Najib of Waliya Najib Photography. She is pretty crafty too, and I cant wait for you all to see her room. Hopefully we'll do a post on that soon. But for today, I asked her to share this easy little DIY she did recently for our first guest post. A photography journal! This is where she keeps all her inspirations and ideas and also a track of all the work she does. Here's what she wrote about it.
.................

Had been wanting to get a journal for my photography, but couldn't find one like I was looking for. So i decided to make one on my own.

This was super easy and suppper fun to make.

All I needed to do was to draw something cute (these adorable cameras inspired by Elsie from A Beautiful Mess) on different little pieces of paper, color them, glue them on to the journal and just add a final coat of modpodge and its done! Its even more exciting to be working in a self made journal♥

    1. You'll have to ask her that I think. lol. But I think its to keep a record of inspirations and random ideas for pictures as well as notes about the sessions she does!
