Journal Cards

I thought I would show you some of my favorite journal cards from 2012. I love to surf pinterest for ideas and build from them. Sometimes it just inspires my very own.

For the 1st card I used many kinds of washi, some Thickers, and Lily Bee alphas. The second uses the Fiskars tab punch, a clear bag (holding my receipt and gift card for Dunkin Donuts), October Afternoon alphas, Tim Holtz tiny stapler, and a Studio Calico wood veneer heart.





These next 3 journal cards are from our Disney week. The 1st journal card uses a Project Life folded journal card, circle punch circle that I cut in half, washi tape, October Afternoon and Thickers alphas, and a Studio Calico arrow. The 2nd uses a Project Life folded journal card, paper for that week (October Afternoon Woodland Park), October Afternoon alphas, and the Fiskars tab punch. The 3rd card also uses a Project Life folded journal card, more paper from the Woodland Park Collection, tiny attacher, and Studio Calico wood veneer arrow.







The next 2 are from the same week, I just love how they turned out. The 1st is a My Minds Eye paper, Fiskars tab punch, a grid lined baggie cut down) ( holding my journaling and receipt for Staples, a Project Life arrow, and Lily Bee alphas. The 2nd is a Project Life grid card, more MME paper, Ooctober Afternoon alpha, and another alpha I do not recall.





This last one documents the 1st day of Winter. I used paper from the Festive collection, made a flag, October Afternoon and EK Success alphas, and wood veneer snowflake from Studio Calico stapled with the Tim Holtz stapler.



From Nov 26th thru Dec 30th I used a different Christmas line for each week.
Week 1 - Very Merry by October Afternoon
Week 2 - Tinsel & Twig by the Girls Paperie
Week 3 - 12 Days of Christmas by My Minds Eye
Week 4 - Festive by Authentique
Week 5 - Make it Merry by October Afternoon

Project Life Journal Cards

While doing my traditional Pinterst surfing, I came across a pin from
www.journalofcuriousthings.co.uk/2013/01/journaling-card-tutorial.html and I felt reminicent of my older scrapbooking and new I had to give these a try. I didnt realize how much I missed the black marker bordering!

For those I used various grid designed papers from different lines, PL journal cards, Martha Stewart, Stampin Up! and Ali Edwards punches, various paper scraps I have, and washis.
For this next set they are just a bunch of cards I made from ideas seen on sites I follow, such as http://niebuhrchicks.blogspot.com/
http://michellewooderson.blogspot.com/ or other Pinterst sites.

For these cards I used washi, Studio Calico wood veneer stars, MME brad, Martha Stewart and Stampin Up! punches, Martha Steward doily, Thickers alpha, PL grid cards, various grid papers, and October Afternoon label and butterfly.

PROJECT LIFE WEEK 1

This week is a packed week, lots of inserts. Although, if you watch thru the year, I love inserts! We had New Years Eve, a holiday get together and SNOW! I used a set from My Minds Eye for this week, can't remember the name, sorry. For my everyday weeks I use Design A.

My first insert is Design C with the right half cut off.

The second insert is Design F with the right stip of 3x4's cut off. You are seeing the back side of insert 1 and the front side of insert 2.

The third is Design A with the right half cut off, and the fourth is just a 8 1/2x11 page protector. You are seeing the back side of 2, and the front side of 3.

And finally, you will see the back side of 3 and the 4th and final insert!
