Party Favors

Jessica and her friends are all very into reading. Right now they are all reading the Twilight series for about the twelfth time. They even have they own book club. Before the beach we stopped out for pizza and all they did was talk about the Twilight books. Well now they are even moving on to writing their own short stories together so I thought making them their own personalized journals would be the perfect party favors.

I found these great fabric covered journals at Target for only $2.49 but I could only get three black for her friends Jessica's journal is purple. Jessica picked out her favorite Doodle Factory monster Num Num for the front. I did them all the same and added each of the girls initial with a K & Co. silver glitter letter. I stamped the image with Stazon Jet Black ink and colored it with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. The layers were cut out with my rectangle Nestabilities Dies. The black ribbon is from PaperMart and the purple ribbon is from Offray.

Here is Jessica's purple journal. Along with these we also gave each of the girls a smencil. Now I am sure you are asking what a "smencil" is. Well it is a scented pencil made from recycled newspapers my school is selling for a fund raiser. What could be more fun then writing in a new journal with a fruity scented pencil! The girls loved them and started writing in them right away! Jessica is just like me and couldn't wait until the end of the party to give them out.

What a great idea, Jen. Love how you personalized each journal with an initial. And how cool that the girls love to read and write!!!

How great is this!? I love this idea-I have a 10 year old that would have a blast making these. I just started the Twilight series, and for a 40 year old mom of three-I have to say, I'm really liking it!

These turned out so darling! Super idea for a party favor. The "smencils" sound fun too....I've never heard of them, but what a neat item to sell for a fund raiser. :)

These are so cool! Thats so nice to hear that the girls really enjoyed them too. I've heard of the Smencils. There is a store near me called 5 Below (where everything is $5 and under) that sells these. I bought some for myself. I have the cotton candy, grape, & bubblegum ones. They smell so yummy. Thats such a neat idea that your school sold them for a fund raiser. Cool! :)
