Enjoy Life Every Day

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!

Sassy Lil Card Sketches

These summer days get away from me, and I almost forgot to post the new sketch for Sassy Lil Card Sketches!  I think you are going to like this one from Cherie  -  I know I did!

My favorite go-to paper from Close To My Heart - Veranda:

This is such a simple card!  And that's the beauty of the sketch - it can finished easily or you can pile it on as you'd like!
