CreativePaperAddiction.com:Having Fun While Being Creative

Hi everyone! Summer has been crazy busy which hasn’t left me much time to sit down and blog. There has been crafting but nothing I can share…yet. Anyways, this month’s theme over on Eileen Hull’s blog is Journal Fodder. You ask what is that? It’s anything you can add/stuff/tuck into a journal and here is my take on that theme. So let’s get started!

I cut two of the envelopes from the Journaling Card Envelope and Windows Thinlits. One envelope I folded on all the crease lines. I cut off the end of the second envelope that has the “v” shape and left a 1/2″ flap. I also cut off the side flaps.

Next, I adhered the 1/2″ flap to the bottom of the folded envelope.

I applied adhesive to each of the side flaps and glued the cut “v” envelope together to create a pocket.

I cut another envelope from a floral piece of cardstock slightly smaller and cut a part at all the folds.

I glued each of those pieces to the outside of the envelope.

I cut three pages from an old dictionary and plant book. I punched two small holes in the fold of the envelope flap and holes in all pages and then sewed into the fold/spine.

I tied off in the inside of the folio.

I decorated the cover before adding anything to the inside. I cut an oval from the Journaling Card Envelope and Windows Thinlits and for the cover and insides I used an assortment of embellishments from Garden Party by Maggie Holmes.

First off, I tied seam binding to the cord that has the pages stitched inside. Next,I placed the seam binding across the flap, embossed tickets from the Mini Slimline and Tickets Thinlits with the Crochet Mandala Embossing Folder. I glued the tickets to the flap, before adhering the oval diecut and gold frame on the outside of the flap.

I adhered the fox and flower to the bottom of the oval frame and the “beauty” puffy sticker to the top of the oval. I added to gold gems to the finish.

The inside flap I added a few puffy stickers and the back pocket I used a piece of cardstock that was embossed with Woven Leather Embossing Folder . I placed the “kind” puffy sticker across the embossed cardstock and added a bee sticker.

The first page inside I cut a tab from the Journaling Card Envelope and Windows Thinlits. I staples it along with a piece of lace the top of the page and added a “be you” sticker to the tab.

The next two pages more puffy stickers, embellishments and a few flowers that I had cut from the Folio Page Pocket and Flowers Thinlits that I shaped with a Stylus , added gems and sequins to each flower.

Behind the “Here We Go” tag I created a tuck spot. The ATC die from the Library Pocket ATC Card and Tab Thinlits I placed a folded piece of cardstock slightly inside the cut line to create a mini book. I dressed the outside up with a butterfly sticker, scalloped circle and a puffy bow.

More tuck spots on the next two pages.

I used the center of the Sunflower Diecut and an embossed ticket to create a unique tuck spot.

I cut out a library pocket and label from the Library Pocket ATC Card and Tab Thinlits. I glued the pocket together and adhered the bottom edge to the bottom of the page. The opposite page I added the center die from the Sunflower Diecut, a couple of punches, banner, puffy flower sticker as decoration.

The library pocket I added a tag and a embossed ticket and I tucked a folded piece of paper.

On the next two pages I glued two sides of the little house diecut to the bottom corner of the page. The opposite page I adhered a scraps of cardstock and a puffy flower sticker to the bottom corner.

I tucked in behind the house a couple of cut a parts.

On the next two pages I added a banner and scalloped circle punch and a couple of stickers to the bottom of the page. The opposite page I added a tab from the Library Pocket ATC Card and Tab Thinlits, a “us” sticker to the tab and a bit of trim to finish this page.

I added folded patterned cardstock and a adorable floral diecut to the pocket to finish.
