Vintage Christmas Journal

Howdy Crafters, 
Fit Kitty Challenged me to make a Christmas Journal - and I finished one up today! Yeah!

Although, Journals take time to create - I surely enjoy creating them and giving them as gifts. My Journals are primarily for writing. However, the recipient could add photos.

I made a decision to start using supplies I have been hoarding- [the brads, paper, charms, etc.] Like WHAT!! I said to myself... " You purchased these items for crafting - Hello!! Stop hoarding and use them---- you know-- so you can justify buying more!" LOL


Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed week.
Main tems I used for this Journal
Cuttlebug ~Misti- Scissors, Corner Punch
MFT-Die-Namics Stitched Tag Die/Banners [various sizes]
Scotch White Glue - ATG
TLC Printables throughout Journal

  10. Oh Gail, I just love the vintage style of this beautiful album. I love the way the pages show the sentiment at the bottom and all of the places to add tags and fluff. Bravo for making the decision to use your supplies! We're so happy you shared with our challenge at Mini Album Makers. Hugs, Autumn
