An International Circle Journal Adventure!

0 comments
I recently joined an International Circle Journal, with a group of 12 lovely ladies from around the world; we all have 1 thing in common, the lovely website; twopeasinabucket.com! We each chose a theme, mine was My Home Town and once we created our pages for our journals we sent them on to their next destination. Our journals get to travel the world, making stops here in the USA, Japan, New Zealand and Australia just to name a few! I'm wishing I could do the same! *grin*
So each time I finish my next set of pages I will be posting them here to share with you! I am expecting some lovely pages from some very talented ladies; I cannot wait to see the next challenge I get in the mail.




Here is the cover of my circle journal, I used K&Co papers and Maya Road House Chipboard pieces. I made the album out of Chipboard sheets and the album is 8x8. The pictures below are the few pages from my album before I sent it out, it includes the opening pages, direction pages and then my 2 pages for my theme.





These 2 pages are my introduction and instruction page. I used alot of transparencies and embellishments.

These 2 pages are my pages, showing some of the fun & interesting areas from my home town. Places to eat, places to go and sporting events to attend!

These 2 pages tell about the locations and events on the left page,


and these 2 pages tell about the locations and events on the right page. They are 1/2 pages made from transparencies and embellished.
Thanks again for looking and I will be posting more pages as I receive journals from the other ladies in the group.

Happy Easter to all!

0 comments
Happy Easter everyone! Here is a lovely Easter layout I did for my Etsy shop! I will be uploading it to the shop later today when I get home from work. I hope someone likes it and wants to adopt it and bring it home!
I think it turned out just beautifully!
The left page has an adorable fuzzy bunny sitting on the ground. The pages are decorated with a Doodle Bug Easter line that I just love; it is so bright and girly! I have also added alot of flowers and ric rac and ribbon. The simple title I did in felt letters, I like how they turned out. I'm liking felt more and more for embellishing.

Here is a close-up of the adorable little bunny from the left page, She was made with fuzzy felt, black brad eyes, Bazzill cardstock nose and chalk. She also has flowers and a bow on her ear.

Here is the right page, or page 2 as most like to call it. The main bunny is a little girl carrying flowers in her hands. They are embellished with brads for centers and a little glitter. This page also has a little tiny baby bunny sitting in the corner with a little bow in her hair. Page is also embellished with flowers, ribbon and ric rac.

Here is a close-up of the girl bunny from page 2. I love how she turned out! She's so cute just standing there holding her flowers. I Think they might be for her mom.
