Unity Hip Hop - Grateful Mini Journal!!

I love the theme for this week's Unity Hop - Grateful/Thankful projects!!  Right away, I decided to use my ippity "A Moment in Time" sentiment.  I pulled out my 8x8 Graphic 45 - Steampunk Debutante designer papers because I wanted to have that "autumn" feel for my small "Grateful Mini Journal"!!


This journal booklet is made by using one of my Silhouette Dies designed by Samantha Walker!!  It's called "3 Nesting Artsian Shapes" (C00493_19210) " and it comes with three different files in this one set!!  The ippity sentiment was stamped onto a Spellbinder die cut and then I added little gold pearl pen dots around the border and a few dots on top of the tiny butterflies and the end of the sentiment swirl!!

Here's a close up of the side view, so you can see that my journal is pretty thick for being a mini!!  Now, I can start filling it up on a daily basis for everything that I am grateful/thankful for in my life!  Hope this inspires you to make one too!   They are quick and so much fun to make!!


Oh..and not to forget...I have a winner to announce for the "handmade" flower challenge for World Cardmaking Day!!  WINNER is MARTHA (username: creatingisfun)!!!  So Martha, send an email to Jimmi at this address: jimmi.mayo@gmail.com, and she will send your "You Deserve" ippity stamp set prize out to you!!  Thanks so much to everyone who played along..I was amazed at all the awesome handmade flowers you all made!

Now, it's time for you to head on over to see what fabulous creation Kelly has to share with you today!! Hope to talk to you later in the SCS forum!!  Have a blessed day!
