Thrifty shopping for Crafty folk

 

Well hello to Autumn, hardly feels like Summer

visited at all lol, but then this is England so nothing

 unusual about that.

Today I am sharing my DT project for

CRAFTING FROM THE HEART

Challenge 05


I am trying to be a bit "thriftier" with my crafting and 
shopping for bargains to share. This Tin that the journal is 
made to fit into was £1 from Poundland, and contained 
coloured pencils /eraser/sharpener/ruler and Alphabet stencil.

My friends June and Shasteya gave me these beautiful
digi papers for free!!! 
I started by printing 2 of the patterned papers onto
each side of some 120gsm card stock, and making
a basic concertina ...
I then took some £1 post it notes and added them
 randomly to the "pages" as journalling panels...
before going wild with more of the images from
the same free paper collection, adding a few stickers
I already had in my stash...
On the reverse I just used the letter stencil that came 
in the Tin to add a few Autumnal phrases...
To finish I decorated the tin lid with a couple more 
pieces from the collection.

All in all I am very happy with this little
 "Tinned Journal"
And I highly recommend trawling the stationary
and kiddy craft sections at Poundland
 (or your countries equivalent)
when looking for journalling items.
And if you have a printer, check out FB and other 
intrnet places for free paper downloads.

Enjoy XXX
