work? not really - more like fun


not sure if I showed the finished pocket journal, so here are a few glimpses.  there are at least four pocket pages and several blank journal pages are sewn in.
The cover is embossed.  and all the papers are coffee stained with a vanilla-cinnamon-almond very light scent.  vintage tatting and buttons, little ledger papers are also vintage (from my dad's stash!).




when I saw these poppy stamp dies, I decided ( over many days) I needed them.  they are adorable!




then I needed the new prima Christmas paper pad - this is just one paper.  all are soooo cute.  won't the rudolph die (in pinks) look perfect with it? this is a sample from the 6 x 6 pad.



here they are, in action.  this little spot is 3 1/2 x 4.  mixed with the t. holtz flowers.  

and here is a mock-up of my next project.  it just happened to be in pink but I'm thinking more halloweenish or maybe Thanksgivingish.  I was playing with different sizes.  this model helped me with the size I want.  
and, after all it's only paper.  this cost about 9 cents and about 30 minutes.
hmmmm.....a shadowbox,  a candy box, a book box......wait and see!



yep, Denver got snow and we hardly broke 90 degrees today.  it was almost cool when I ran this morning (74 degrees).  hasn't been that cool since March!
