my 10 wishes circle journal...

if you have been reading my blog for a while, you will remember that i've been hosting a circle journal with the theme of "10 wishes". the swap started back in july. (i can't believe it was that long ago!!) each person started their own circle journal, then every three weeks it was sent on to the next person in the group. we did this 8 times. then we each finally received our own cj back. i absolutely love mine!! i hope everyone who participated is as happy with their cj as i am with mine!! it's priceless!! and so worth the stress it takes to try and organize and create each person's cj entry!! i'm addicted to these little things. i think this is my seventh one. and i just started another (so be prepared for more posts!). anyway, thanks to all the amazing people that participated and made this swap go so smoothly!!

another 10 wishes...

well the 10 wishes circle journal swap coming to a close. this is the entry i did for chris's cj. i've tried to stick with the same general theme, just changed the layout and colors a bit. i currently have the last cj i will add my entry to, then it will go back to it's creator. i'm sad that it's almost done!! when you start a project that lasts this long, you get kind of used to doing it!! oh well, i guess i'll just start another one!!!

10 wishes...
stamps: stampin up
cardstock: dcwv glitter stack, purely pomegranate (su), morning marigold (su)
ink: purely pomegranate
embellishments: ribbon (su), staples

the wishes continue...

i've got another chapter in the book of the 10 wishes circle journal to share. the wishes don't change, but the layout does. it's funny because when i got this cj, which is gaerria's, i thought i would do a similar layout to the one i did last for sherri's cj. i really liked how i did each wish, with the punch and the stamp that matches. so i started out that way, then found this background paper that was exactly 6x6. how weird is that? it is, trust me, because most of my paper is never cut square unless is straight from a pad of paper. and i had two that matched. and i loved the design. so i decided to do a little something different, but similar. the wishes with ribbon are secured with pop dots, so there is a little dimension to the pages. i also needed something on the page opposite the page with the "10 wishes" title, so i layered some ribbon. i wasn't sure about it, but it's growing on me. i hope gaerria likes it!!!



10 wishes...
cardstock: kiwi kiss, soft sky, patterned paper-unknown
stamps: stampin up
embellishments: staples, stampin up ribbon, making memories ribbon

more 10 wishes...

it's been a bit since i posted a circle journal entry. i made this a little while ago, but never got a chance to post it. this is for sherri's 10 wishes cj. i used my new curly box punch from stampin up and one of the stamps that came with it. i love it! i also used my new scallop edge punch on the "ten wishes" part.

more wishing (the same ones)...

here it is. another entry for the 10 wishes circle journal swap i'm hosting. this is for joanne's cj. and i'm so proud of myself. this isn't due to be mailed until august 26!! that's 10 days from now!! usually i'm stumped and put it off until the last minute. not this time!!! this is my entry for joanne's cj. i used the new in colors from su. i am really starting to like them more and more. i need to figure out how to take better pictures of my stuff. it is always so dark. maybe i need to do it during the daylight only. i don't know!

on a sidenote...it's amazing what i can accomplish, crafting wise, when i'm putting off writing a paper!!!
