Leftovers and Scraps

Good Morning! Did you change your clocks? Luckily for me, Mike took care of that at our house.

You might remember back in mid-October I shared some 'Happy Harvest' cards I made using Papertrey Ink's Vintage Picnic Basket stamp set. In that post I shared with you my inspiration for those cards. You can read about them HERE.

                                          
This week as I was sifting through scraps of paper attempting to clean off my desk, I came across several of the picnic basket images I had prepared for the cards. This is what I decided to make with the leftovers....a  mini journal.

I covered a small notebook with scraps of paper and added one of the card fronts I had made. I sprayed a clothespin with Glimmer Mist and adhered paper to it. The ribbon was some I had sprayed with Glimmer Mist for the cards. I added a button with baker's twine to the clothespin. Easy peasy! I thought this made a great little notebook for jotting down blessings, thoughts, and ideas.

Happy Harvest

Today I want to share with you a card I created using inspiration I got from one of my favorite blogs. There are about 10 blogs I read every day, and one of them is Michelle Wooderson's Mish Mash. I like her style. It is a combination of vintage, softness, flea market, and the right touch. She has the ability to take a stamp, strips of paper, a button or 2, and a bit of string and create an awesome project. I admire her artsy touch when it comes to presentation. Thanks, Michelle, for sharing your creativity and inspiring me and others.

You can find the inspiration for my card HERE on Michelle's blog.
