Creative Journal Challenge

This is a swap I participated in sometime last year and had a lot of fun. It was in another group. The original creator is @shinyserra .

This will be a very time-intensive challenging swap so please be prepared for that. I will list requirements for our journals below. Each requirement MUST be fulfilled. I am giving a very long send by date because I already have 3 or 4 journals going already. I just want to keep putting swaps up for this group. You don't have to wait for partners to be assigned to get started. You may start right away. US only due to shipping costs. You don't have to do the requirements in order, just make sure they are in the journal somewhere.

Requirements:

Use a standard size composition notebook. They are normally 80-100 pages so let's use at least an 80 page one, 100 is better. YOU MUST FILL EVERY PAGE. If you run out of all of the things below, fill the rest of the pages with whatever you want. You don't have to use the backs of pages, just the fronts.

Your journal covers front and back must be decorated. Inside of covers is up to you.
