TUIC - Journal Challenge


Christy has challenged the members of Tangled Up in Creativity to create a journal. Well, I have certainly been needing a journal to keep up with my ideas for the 10 Minute Card Challenge I post every Monday in the Kitchen Sink Stamps Forum so this was the perfect challenge for me! After I finished my journal, I went back and read the fine print. We were to also throw in a little spring so I sprinkled a few blossoms over my journal cover. I stamped directly on the recycled kraft paper cover of a lined notepad.

Stamps:  Father's Pocket Watch, 1/2 Pint Alphabet, Hey, Chick,
Mix It Up, and Cowboy Hat by Kitchen Sink Stamps
Journal: Recycled Notepad by ReWrite
Inks: Large Pocket Watch - 3 SU Early Espresso, 2 SU Soft Suede, 
 1 Colorbox Metallic Gold
Small Pocket Watch - 3 SU Soft Suede, 2 SU Crumb Cake,
1 SU Creamy Caramel
Sentiments: SU Early Espresso and Soft Suede
Flowers: SU Creamy Caramel
