Open Sea Journal

Journals have long been a part of my life.  I love words and what better way to record the journeys of life than your very own journal.  They can be private and personal or they can be a way to share your life with others.  I have made many of these but I have to say that this one is my favorite.  Pacific Point Card Stock and Silver Emboss Powder make a great combination.

Stamp Sets:  The Open Sea, Define Your Life (retired); Inks:  Pacific Point, VersaMark; Card Stock:  Pacific Point, Very Vanilla, Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack; Accessories & Tools:  Stampin' Emboss Powder/Silver, Decorative Label Punch, 1/8" Mini Brads/Silver, Mini Glue Dots

I always keep several of these on hand or I can customize one just as I did for the one I've shared here.  No two are ever alike and that makes them unique.  Contact me to order one for yourself or as a gift.

It's Another Journal

This is the other journal I designed to place in my display at the Crafters' Gift Boutique.  Tomorrow I'll show you the card I made for our Make & Take at the Open House.  And, yes, it is all current product.

Stamp Set:  Define Your Life (retired); Ink:  Soft Suede; Card Stock:  Soft Suede, Marina Mist, Spice Cake Designer Series Paper (retired); Accessories & Tools:  Decorative Label Punch, Butterfly Punch (retired), 5-Petal Punch (retired), Scallop Ribbon Border Punch (retired), Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Mini Brads

While my two year old grandson is sacked out on the floor, (he always falls asleep during a movie), I'm going to finish my coffee and relax before my other three grandsons get here.  It's going to be a busy morning.

It's All About Words

Here is a new journal I've designed to put in my display at the Crafters' Gift Boutique.  I love journaling at the end of my day.  It lets me reflect back on my day and clears my mind.  I find I rest better once the words have been committed to paper.

The Spice Cake Designer Series Paper and the Define Your Life Stamp Set are now retired but were perfect for this journal.  I added some flowers and a butterfly along with some Dazzling Details for some sparkle.  The one thing I forgot to do before snapping the photo was to put some Soft Suede card stock on the binding.  Sigh... some days I wonder about me.

Stamp Set:  Define Your Life (retired); Ink:  Soft Suede; Card Stock: Soft Suede, Pool Party, Spice Cake Designer Series Paper (retired); Accessories & Tools:  Boho Blossoms Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Butterfly Punch (retired), Scallop Edge Border Punch (retired), Dazzling Details

Now it's time to finish up before my guests start arriving.  My Open House is this evening.  I have a couple more things to mark off my list, then I can sit down and take a break before the fun begins.
