Journaling Cards Made With Dotty For You

I made a bunch of journaling cards with some scraps of card stock and the Dotty For You paper which was a special a number of months ago. This time, I didn't adhere my cards to my 4" x 6" background card stock in order to leave myself some flexibility when it comes time to put my Project Life layout together.

Here they are all jumbled up with the card stock that I think I'll use as backgrounds.

 

And here is a more organized look. Remember, they are not adhered to the card stock on purpose.

 

I used the It's Your Day stamp set which was a special in the summer and September. I cut out a bunch of rounded rectangle shapes using the Cricut Artiste cartridge. I also used a sticker from the Color-Ready Noted Canvas Shapes. The tiny MTWTF on the yellow polka dotted card is cut out from a sheet of paper in the Scholastic Paper Pack.

 

Right now I am storing my journaling cards in CTMH's My Creations Recipe/Photo Box, which I love. It keeps everything nice and compact and organized. I still need to decorate it!

 

I imagine that if I end up having a lot of cards and card stock cut out, I can shift everything to my Organizer to give myself more room.

 

There are a ton of free printable journaling cards available online. Just doing a Google search or a Pinterest search will yield quite a few resources if you'd like to print something. Here are a few that I found (a lot of them are thanks to Sue!).

Another good source is the blog: http://onevelvetmorning.wordpress.com/

I've downloaded a few for fun, but I am going to try to stick with using paper and stamps to make my own journaling cards since I already have the paper and stamps and I love making them!

Using up Scraps

As you can imagine, after making all the SnowFriends cards, I had quite a few scraps of Stardust paper left over. I tried to be good and put usable scraps in a baggie so that I could go back and see what I could do with them. Here are two designs what I came up with.

Both cards have some dimension to them so my scanner had a hard time getting everything in focus, but these images are still better than the photos I took of them. Please forgive the blurry Happy Birthday sentiment on the second card. The sentiment is from (C1257) Happy Birthday, which I use a lot! Most of the scraps are from (X7109B) Stardust . I also used (Z578) Corner Rounder, (Z1223) Dimensional Elements Booksmart, (Z2308) Brown Bag Marker, the stamp of the month from last August (D1352) It's Your Day, (1242) Sunflower cardstock, brads from my stash, and Nestabilities.

Thanks for looking!
