Just Because

Howdy Crafters ~ This is a stamp set designed by Melanie Muenchinger for Gina K - called "Fill it with Flowers."

I learned how to color the flower by watching a you tube video by Melanie and I lifted her layout as well  - also learned the shadowing technique for the bottle - I added some different elements to the bottle then used by Melanie - I like how my card turned out.

Thanks for stopping by - have a blessed day.

Sunflower TN Journal

Howdy Crafters ~ I have a Simple Sunflower TN Journal [sized at 8 1/ 2x 4 1/4 closed]. The inside has 2 Waterfall sections for journaling, and 2 tri-fold journaling cards inserted in the front and inside of the journal, I have included tags for additional journaling. 

This is my first TN size journal. More are coming later. Thanks for stopping by.

There are photos and descriptions for each page.
Scotch White Glue - ATG - Cuttlebug - Stamping - Tags

Front Cover - TLC Cover for the Journal - Yellow Crinkle Ribbon - Graphic fairy Sunflower - Cuttlebug, Die-Namic Stitched Die - Inserted inside is a trio-fold journal - see next photo

Trio Fold Journal card section added to the Front Pocket

TLC Sunflower and butterfly - 3 sections brought into Word - printed - trimmed and scored

 Inside the TN Sunflower Journal - Pocket on Left created with dark yellow cardstock and 

manila cardstock using a MS heart lace border punch - I used a Sunflower Stamp on the cardstock

Took a Micro Black Ink Pen and wrote Sunflower

Inserted in Pocket is a tri-folded Journal card

 2 waterfall panels on the right - and at the top of the journal page is another pocket

I used a SU Ticket punch for the top Pocket

 This Tri-Fold Journal Card was inserted inside the Pocket on the Left Side at the top of the page

 [I downloaded this journal card free at zulily.com - you have to sign in t receive it]

I created this tri-fold the same as I did the one on the Cover of the Journal

 The Top Pocket was created from printing an additional journal printout by TLC - the same one I used as my Front Cover - then I cut and timed the section for the pocket

 and used a SU Ticket punch on the corners of the pocket

Insert is another TLC Sunflower creation - I folded it - punched a hole in the corner with my 

WRMK Cropadile and added Fuzzy Yellow Bakers Twine

 This Photo is the Top Waterfall panel - All TLC Sunflowers [I used 2 different prints] 

This is one of the prints - the next photo is the other print I used for the waterfall section

 I alternated the 2 prints for this waterfall section 

There are 2 of these TLC Journal cards with Manila Cardstock Die Cut Tags glued on left side

 This is the second Journal Card Print - there are 3 of these in the waterfall section

I glued  Dark Yellow tags to the left of each section

 I used my Sizzix Pocket & Tag insert in the back section of the waterfall- This is a TLC Printable

 This shows the Yellow Tag insert - the Pocket was cut with A Sizzix Die

  I matched up the left over top piece of  TLC Printable cut and glued it on the base

 This is the Second Waterfall - I am using TLC Sunflower Post Cards [2]

 Under the first post card I glued a manila band of cardstock and inserted a larger Tag Die Cut

I stamped the corner with a Sunflower Clear Dollar Brand Stamp using Memento Ink

 The back section of the Post Card waterfall Graphics by Fairy

 2 cards were inserted into pocket - I used Lawn Fawn Rectangle die to Cut them out

Back cover - the Front and Back covers are TLC and are one page

Hinged Mini Tri-Fold Journal

Howdy Crafters - Yesterday I spent some time watching several videos on You Tube. I viewed several Distress Ink Techniques, and the results lead me to created several tags, backgrounds, and even flowers using Distress Inks and Stains. Let's face it - I got messy!!

Secondly, I watched 2 videos on how to make a Tri-Fold Envelope Mini Journal. I was introduced to this process by Cheryl Stark Grungy Envelop Portfolio  Click HERE at the Facebook Page for TLC - Printables for Your Junk Journals. The other was by Gail Agostinelli - Click HERE
