Fall Journal Page

Howdy Crafters ~ I am working on finishing a fall journal ~ the page to the left in the photo is a Tim Horton coffee shop recycled sack with patterned paper attached.  The sack will be used to store Journal cards or booklets.

The Page on the Right has a Decoupage Paper Napkin I created - CLICK HERE for the EASY TUTORIAL - cut with a stitched tag die and I made the tag a pocket.- I stamped on the finished tag using a STAMploration stamp- Be the Exception~  using my Misti & Memento black ink. ~ I sponged the page with orange ink.

I inserted a STAMPlorations Freebie printable - thank you for this. I colored the graphic with Markers and Inks. This printable is being used as a journal card.

I stamped "be Thankful"  on the Pumpkin using the word "be"  from the same stamp on the tag and a clear "thankful" stamp from my collection. This journal will be completed and posted soon.


I would like to share with these challenges:

Coffee Charms

Howdy Crafters - Loving these Coffee Charm die set, I whipped up a ton of these to add to future projects  ~ they take scraps of cardstock so they were very, very easy to cut a bunch at one time.

I used Kraft, Patterned, White Cardstock.
Inking was used on many of them - Scotch White glue for assembly of lids, hearts,  and whipped cream,

I like using clear cardstock to cut those rounded lids - Check out the blue one on the left and the corner right one - they look better in person!!

Markers for highlighting

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy - and believe me I like Easy when it comes to making a ton of items. 

I still have more to create - hehe

Cutplorations COFFEE word die was run through Cuttlebug 

My Paper crimper was used on one for the coffee sleeve
