New journal

Every month we get a mailer with coupons in it. It is a pretty substantial mailer too. I think they have about 75 pages in them. I decided to make a journal out of one.

I have this paper pack I bought several years ago. I thought I would that to cover the pages. I am still trying to use the stuff I already have.

So I started covering all the pages. I am liking how the pages are coming together.

So you get how this is going. I have a little leftover from each page too so I can use those to imbelish.

I added some lined paper, leftover paper, stamping & some old imbelishments to make some cute new pages. I love taking some junk mail, using old stuff to make something new. Awesome :)

Gratitude Journal

I just love createscrapbooks.com. Jana Is so talented with all her mixed media art, scrapbook pages, cards, home decor and lots more. They do a live show that rocks.

Jana & Terri have designed a gratitude journal.  I got my note book the other day at staples (5x7 size) to use as my journal. I took it out yesterday and got the cover done. I knew I wanted a flower on it & I wanted to do some stitching too. I really like how it came together. I found some lace from my stash I wanted to use to cover up some of the black that is on the spine. The lace had some spaces here and there so I decided to use some floss and add to it. I just am happy with how it all came together. I love those times when you can just sit down to create something & the ideas just keep flowing and pretty soon your project is done. That ROCKS!!!

So this is my finished cover. I sat down & wrote in it too. I find writing hard but I know if I keep at it I will get better!!! Hoping so anyway!!!

Thank you Jana & Terri for such a fun project!!!!!!!!!
