Journaling With A Twist

Stampin' Up! Mixed Bunch &
Framelits Labels Collection

On June 2nd I participated in a Fund Raiser for St Theresa's Catholic Church here in Palm Springs.  It was called Scrappin Around The Clock and was intended to be an all day event targeting you scrapbookers out there!  And that it did!  I, however, have never been into scrapbooking.  I'm a guy of immediate gratification.  I want to start a project and 20 minutes later tops I'm done!  BUT I needed to come up with a scrapbook project, so here it is.  It uses the Two Tags die as the main journaling vehicle.  I added punches of the Mixed Bunch stamp set punched out and added to the page so the journaling is hidden until you are ready to read it.  I think it's pretty nifty!

Putting It Together Tips:

• When you construct the Two Tags component, only glue the top half of the Blossom punch to the tag.  This allows the blossom to cover the slit in the page.
• The Old Olive card stock Framelits were a little boring by themselves so I shaded the edges with a sponge dauber and some Old Olive Classic Ink to make them pop right off the page.
• I used the large Boho Blossom punch to create the flower centers ONLY on the flowers with the tags.  That's how you know which flowers have the journaling attached.
• The Framelits work great to cut out the frames AND the photos.  What a great way to give the page pizzazz!

Well, I think there might be a few european pix that are waiting for their spots in a mini album! You did a great job! I often use hidden journaling. I love to be able to pull out from under a picture or turn the pic on a brad to reveal the journalling. That gives me more space for photos. Did you enjoy making it? Hugs, Jess

Mike, I love your layout! I scrap also, but it does take a little more time than a card, but so worth it. You did a great job my friend.
