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
I grabbed some ideas from both videos- threw in some of my own, and here is my finished project. There are 11 pages and descriptions: 3 Cream Colored Envelops, ATG, Scotch White Glue, Misti, Stamping, Tags, Micron Pen, Distress Inks, Patterned Cardstock, Punch, Die, Cuttlebug, Cropadile
