I have had this journal from Pinecone Press in my stash for about a year. I got it on clearance somewhere for about $2.00, and it has six double-sided pocket pages. I have been working on some personal goals, and I wanted something pretty to keep everything in.
I pulled out the rest of my CTMH Veranda paper and stickease. When the new Idea Book is released on August 1st, I know there are going to be some more favorite papers, but I have really enjoyed working with Veranda. It's just so pretty! I added some CTMH paper flowers and ribbon along with some random gems. I covered the front and back covers with Martha Stewart decoupage. This is my favorite because the lid has a brush attached. No messy clean-up! I even decoupaged the flowers and stickease so that this book will stand up to some wear.
I am entering this in the Shopping Our Stash challenge. (Thanks Marg!)
Hope you are having a great day today!

Brenda, this is BEAUTIFUL! How did the flowers hold up to the decoupage? Did they get crunchy.
What a gorgeous journal!
Fabulous work, Brenda!
I love what you do with flowers! Have you thought about doing a little workshop on how to arrange florals and bling? Your work is always so lovely.
FYI .... this would be a lovely submission for the challenge over at Shopping Our Stash: http://shoppingourstash.blogspot.com/2011/07/shopping-our-stash-sos-challenge-8-out.html
I'm using "Olivia" on a mini album right now. Another oldie but goodie from CTMH!
Thanks for the inspiration Brenda!
