Hello everyone..
I've had this journal sitting in my files and have no idea why I never posted it up..but I am now and showing all my stash I used in making it, nothing new, just stash stuff and scraps and lots of Tim Holtz secret never to be used stuff..I OPENED THE DRAW..and used some.
I started( again ) with white envelopes..
and all these papers are out of my stash, they a slippery
grungy and textured.
all the envelopes were covers..
both sides..
book pages added..
These papers were also in my stash, 6x6 square
and 5x4..die cut numbers that were sitting around!
and I made frames..
love the colours of theses ones..
die cut loads of circles
and pockets
and tag panels
booklets
envelopes...made these ages ago and
decided to start using these things..
my booklets got a pocket inside and added the envelopes..
More circles with book pages and added numbers on
and file labels joined up with brads and some numbers.
My favourite page, this wonderful paper doll from TH
Cleopatra dropped in and sprawled.
second favourite page, love the paper and frame..
and the closed journal with leather or suede twine..
So there you go,
I still have some Christmas ones to share, so must get on with that..so much to do and so little time..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you soon..
luv CHRISSYxx
