Sketch Journals

Spring has arrived in Northwest Arizona and spring brings flowers to mind. These hydrangeas are so pretty that I just couldn't resist this file.
 

 

You get two different images on one sheet and you can print as many as you need.

 





 I decided that I needed a couple of little sketch books that I can take along with me where ever I go.
 

 

 



After printing each image onto a 4" x 6" postcard, I mounted them onto pieces of 5 1/2" x 8" cardstock. I cut up an old cereal box to fit in between 2 pieces of the 5 1/2" x 8" cardstock. Then I added some ribbon, brads, sequins and it doesn't show in the photos but some Glossy Accents to the flower centers.
 
I used my Cinch to bind the pages and covers together.
 

 
 

French Country Prints Planner/Journal

Have you noticed the Planner/Journal trend that has exploded in the paper crafting world? I thought that these Beautiful French Country Print Daisies would make a perfect Planner/Journal with a matching card.
 

 

There are 2 total images with this Printable, 1 with a white background and 1 with an antique look background.

 

 



I used the white one for the planner/journal and the antique one for the card.
 

 

I printed both of the French Country Prints on a piece of 4 x 6 cardstock.

 

For the Planner/Journal I cut a piece of goldish cardstock, added a piece of chipboard to the back of and covered with another piece of matching cardstock on the inside. I also added a piece of burlap which I frayed. I cut the butterfly with my Cuttlebug and also embossed the top layer which I cut out of a piece of Japanese craft paper that my kids in Tokyo sent me and added a few sequins.

 

I used my Cinch to bind the planner/journal. Here is a picture of the inside.

 

 

 

For the card I started with a 5 x 7 blank card base, I took 2 scraps of goldish cardstock, taping them together at the center with green and white stripped washi tape. 2 wooden butterflies which I colored with my eBrush and added a couple of jewels to the centers, a few sequins and a piece of green and white twine completed the card.
 
The edges of the prints have been inked.
