Pink & Navy Floral "Junk" Journal

-










YouTube video flip through:  https://youtu.be/XwRFBwupsVg

I learned how to make these chipboard journals from youtube, and they are called "junk journals".  I didn't really use junk in this one, so maybe I'll just call it a journal.  This one is for my sister, they generally take 3 to4 days to complete.

It still needs a few more finishing touches I think, the cover is a little plain.  I need to iron the wide, white grosgrain ribbon.  And since I have a ton of beads and charms, I'm going to make a book charm for it also.

I used a paper pad called, "Blue Blooms" (December 2017), so its still available right now and its so cute.  I really like this paper pad.  On the cover I used two papers that I had purchased separately.  The double sided floral/gingham is by My Mind's Eye and I believe it is no longer available.  I have had this for a few years, originally purchased at Hobby Lobby on clearance and the other cover paper is an embossed navy paper that I picked up at Michael's.  On the inside cover, I used the other side of the floral paper which is a light pink gingham pattern.  I made paper clip embellishment from the same paper to match and I made a few mini envelopes.  You can see the entire journal at the video shown above.

February 2018 Paper Pumpkin Unboxing and Alternative Projects

Happy Birthday to me! Today is my birthday and I received a sweet gift of 132 Prismacolor Premier pencils!  I may post those if I can find the time. Here is my Paper Pumpkin Alternative showcase for this month (Lol).  I put these together fairly quickly and still have lots of kit to spare!  My favorite item was the linen thread, so glad to add that to my growing collection.  I am currently a demonstrator but I'm not sure I will be after March, I may not have enough sales to remain a demonstrator.  However, I love Stampin' Up! products and I do plan to continue my Paper Pumpkin subscription for now, so I'll post my monthly projects.  I have two videos for these cards you can view them below.  TFL. I just saw my Paper Pumpkin unboxing video had 52 likes!  To see this video:  https://youtu.be/DLlxibr2pA8 My second video is uploading so I'll update the post once that video is live.

MOJO Monday Sketch 506

For this card I followed the Mojo Monday Sketch 506 .  I used Stampin' Up's Bottles & Bubbles dies and Stampin' Up's Bubble Over DSP which was a Sale-A-Bration item in 2018 and super cute!  I am a paper hoarder and sometimes find it difficult to cut the papers, but I'm coming around.  I took advantage of Stampin Up's current Demonstrator offer which gets you $175 worth of product for only $99.  Shipping is Free!  I loaded up on papers!   So all the papers, the bottle, and the caps, came from the same paper set.  I used Fresh Fig linen ribbon under the bottle and I added some dew drops to accent.  Don't you think it is so hard to place these little dew drops?  I think I did OK with this card, but often I find it don't look quite right.   Other people don't seem to have that problem.  Anyway, I added two 1/8" eyelets in black to balance off the card.  For the sentiment I used a Paper Pumpkin Stamp (I think February 2018, but not

Viva La Verve April 2018 Sketch

This is such a beautiful sketch!  I chose to keep the square the same as the base layer but I added an eyelet to the upper right corner.  I used the super cute and fun Stampin' Up! Bubble Over DSP, lemon lime twist cardstock and white cardstock.  I embossed the sentiment from Stapmin' Up! Picture Perfect and I'm down to the bottom of my jar and so that is why its bumpy as opposed to smooth so time to throw that out.  I can't find my other set of circle dies so until I do, I will have to use these wonky stitched circles.  I cut and layered various sizes because I usually layer my cards heavily!  For finishing touches, I added enamel dots and a lime green button plus a striped star and adhered looped, white bakers twine beneath the largest circle.  Thanks for taking a peek! I am also including this in the.   Inspire. Create Challenge #015 .  I created this for a male so I think it meets the criteria.
