Brad bound!


Happy Monday!

I came across a lovely tutorial over at
Cathy's Garden where she showed how you can make
a junk journal using brads for the spine.


I still can't get my head around vintage and junk and tend
to go for a cleaner look so I decided to have a go
my way.

I used papers from DCWV - all dressed up.
Vellum from my stash.
Stamps - Love this moment (SU).
Embellishments - fibres, lace, ric rac trim,  brads, butterfly punch.
Stencils - freebie from magazine
Printables - My Porch Prints.
Embossing folder - Crafter's Companion

You can watch a quick walk through of the inside here

I would like to enter this into
A Perfect Time to Craft - anything goes
Girlz & the Art of letters - E - embossing
vellum inside the book has been embossed with butterfly folder
Love to Craft - anything goes
A Place to Start - use vellum
used lots of vellum inside my book
The Outlawz - no cards option I'd wear that

    My way is always the best option Pinky, we gather ideas but add our own spin, that's what it's all about. Mono always gives such a smart finish.

    I love the way you've incorporated some of your beautiful tags too
