I wanted to start journaling so I used my small paper lunch sacks as backgrounds on my pages , I embossed them , used Distress paints, added stamped images, and adhered them with washi. The paper sacks are fairly thin so they did not add too much thickness to my pages. These are my base pages. I will be adding favorite quotes, thoughts on my life and creative observations..I hope you like them..

ReplyDeletethey make a great background. the pages are clean and simple but pretty.
You don't need a lot of fuss to have a wonderful project.
So fabulous! I hadn't thought about using paper bags for a journal but they're a great idea to keep it flatter. I love the Enchante page!
ReplyDeleteThe paper bags are a great addition to your journal pages.
ReplyDeleteThese are all pretty cool Debra!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great journal. I love the addition of the paper bags. My favorite page is your coffee one.
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome embossed pages, Deb. So cool!
ReplyDeleteLove the journal. I remember when we covered our school books with paper bags and I would decorate my book with paint and embellishments. I love all the stamps you used too. Very sweet!!!
