Read A Good Book, Journal Your Great Tale, Join The Hop!

Hello Creatives!
Welcome to INSPIRE!

Today I wanted to share with you, links and 
my project for the 
Rita Barakat/Finders Keepers/Scrapbook Adhesives
Blog Hop.


What a fun project this was to create.
I LOVE a good book.
And to inspire a young mind to explore a good book, is one of my favorite things to do.

Reading a book, letting imagination soar, was the inspiration for my project.

And the Libris Schmibris Paper collection along with the Jots & Dots Notebook & Rita Barakat's Fairytale Die Cut Collection, well, my imagination soared!





After measuring my paper selections to fit the journal, I began putting it all in place, with the AMAZING products from Scrapbook Adhesives.



I added elements from the paper and coordinating sticker collection through out the journal, including "tabs" that could certainly fit any book details for a young student.

For the outside cover, I used the "A Likely Story" Paper, because it featured imagery of my ALL TIME favorite book, Alice in Wonderland, and I also chose the Hatter & Alice from Rita's Fairytale Die Cuts.






For embellishing, I used Scrapbook Adhesives Foam Sheet, with a flower shaped punch, and added their foil transfer. I loved this technique so much, I used a hole punch in the same manner, and added "foil" dots on the cover & throughout the book.




The inside cover features a design to add the name of the user, and I added pockets through out to use library card elements from the Libris Paper Collection.




This was by far the easiest journal I have put together, and using Scrapbook Adhesive products made it so.

And in addition to the fabulous Libris Collection Paper and Rita Barakat's Fairytale Die Cut Collection.....PERFECTION!
