A Tween Journal

My Granddaughter's birthday is coming up and I wanted to give her something I'd made.  I decided since she's a tween she could use a journal to record her thoughts, pictures, doodles, etc etc etc.  So here's what I came up with.  All papers and stickers are from Me and My Big Ideas So Girly Collection.  I used my Cinch and bound the side with 12 rings and ran a ribbon from front to back through eyelets to tie.

God's In Charge

Sentiment is a rub on from My Sentiments Exactly - Butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch glittered with Crayola glitter glue. I'm not sure you can tell from this picture but the paper has been overstamped in violet with a Delta stamp called Saldage Sprig.

This lace is actually laser cut paper ribbon, it comes in a three pack roll (self adhesive) from Basic Grey Kioshi collection.

This tiny butterfly is a rub on from Basic Gray and then I put Glossy Accents over the top. Pearls are Kaiser crafts.

Butterfly Mini's

These four cards were inspired by a card I saw in the Cards July 2010 issue posted by Maile Belles of Simply Stamped Blog.  She is just so talented, be sure and stop by her blog and let her inspiration rub off on you too!

Each card is just a tad different and each one I made I thought I liked the best until I did the next one, lol. I used two punches the butterfly EK Success and the flower by Fiskars. I'm loving these mini punches! The sprig of pearls were in a goody bag a friend recently gave me. Sentiments above and below are from MSE rub ons.  The ribbon doily on under the sentiment is from Basic Grey and comes on a roll - 3 different designs to a pack and has an adhesive strip on the back that you just remove and stick.  

Little gemstones are from Kaiser Crafts.

This stamp from Hero Arts - Treasure the Memories collection. The border punch on the bottom strip is Fiskars Rope border punch.
