another journal

This is a journal I made with a lot of Tim Holtz product. The "journal" die on the side-used on the book and then again on a page from an old book, then layered over the die cut.  Lots of stamping, more die cuts (cage), tickets, chain, clip, etc.  I also used Prima flowers, butterflies and swirls.  The paper is either TH or MMY-I can never remember to write this info down!  It is interesting, isn't it?

a journal...

I made this journal a while back and just thought you should see it.  I haven't had a lot of time lately to work on projects, but I am trying to get something posted on this blog. I like this mix of lavender and green...it goes so well together!

still playing...

I found this "idea" (and I use that word very loosely) at Hobby Lobby. They had a sheet of card ideas from T!m Holtz and I thought they were pretty cool. However on further inspection it looked to me like they would be very expensive cards with all his "bling" on them, so I made this one into a journal. I'm still working on number 2 (there were three in the set), but have about 10 projects in the works right now so...oh, well, one of these days...

holiday planner

I saw the idea for this planner in a card magazine. The paper is from 2008 and is called "A Country Christmas". See, I use my paper. I'm just slow...The letters are from AC, the initials are from who knows where (had them forever!) and the chain is from TIM HOLTZ! Love that guy!

couldn't go too long...

without playing with another journal! This one is also covered in the Mirabella paper from The Paper Studio. The letters were cut with the Cricut (Don Juan) cartridge. Not sure I'm done with this one...

journal

Oh, I do love making these journal books! The little ribbon clasp on the side says "traditions". Matches perfectly with the blue and yellow on the book.

would you believe?

Another journal? I am always picking this little books up and "re-doing" them! Such fun! It's really a d-stresser!!

not a journal...

a note keeper! That's different! I used MME (Where the Heart Is), thickers and Sizzix flower. Same as the last one, but different!

another journal

Composition book: MME paper, thickers (jewelry box) and sizzix (flower).

the wedding journal

As some of you may know, my middle daughter is getting married in June. I made her a journal to keep up with the details of the event, but I also made this one for myself. I'm so glad I did! I was thinking the wedding was a long ways off, but I have filled at least 15 pages already!

the flower journal

I called this one the flower journal. It's kinda cute, don't ya think?

The Happy Journal

This is the happy journal. I called it that because of all the writing on the paper. It is more of the MME paper I have been playing with-LOVE IT! Tried to give this one to the daughter that loves green, but she didn't go for it. Maybe if I put a ribbon on it? Oh, well, back to the glue board...

Oh, Sweet!

I made this journal book for my daughter in Seattle. I hear she has "matters of the heart" on her mind.

The "Creative" Journal

I am loving the MME paper! I made this journal just for fun. Not sure what to do with it at this point, but I never worry about that! It will end up in a good home...somewhere!
