I gave this sweet little treasure to Jan Farring at our Big Shot class in April. I fell in love with it when I made it, especially that flower, which is the Fun Flowers die cut in Very Vanilla then daubed at the tips with Melon Mambo and Old Olive. The effect is beautiful. I topped it with a few drops of Crystal Effects just for fun as well. The paper is the Sew Suite Designer Series Paper from the 2010-2011 Holiday Mini catalog, but this little project can be paired with any paper. I found the journal in the dollar bin at a local craft store. 

Here is another example:


I know, it's sideways, but I couldn't seem to get it to turn! I took the pic with my phone because I forgot to charge the batteries for the camera, and this was a special project for a friend who was on her way to pick it up, so I didn't have time. This one uses the Nautical Designer Series paper and Travel Log stamp set from the 2011 Summer Mini that is available now. I LOVE this stamp set.
