OK, this one takes just minutes. The most time consuming part is picking a short title to fit!

• Bazzill Olive Cardstock
• 7Gypsies 97% complete Stickers Dad
• Willow Tree Crafts Barcoded Stamp Set

We’re doing some really quick ones now in case you’re behind a bit. All of the journalling is done with the stickers, it doesn’t need much else.

I only needed a bit of blue on this layout, so I just trimmed a couple of narrow strips from a piece I had left over from earlier. Less time spent searching through everything as it was still on my desk!

Alternative Options

Use a colukmn of smaller photos instead of a single panoramic

For a bit of fun…Use something from your handbag on your layout. This could be some memorabilia, a reciept, or use something to stamp with. You could just use a pen that you keep in there, or an emery board for sanding something…

Supplies

• Bazzill Cardinal Cardstock

This is another one of my business card journalling blocks.

Alternative Options

Use patterned paper instead of the Blackbird cardstock.

Supplies

• Bazzill Cardstock
• Willow Tree Crafts Zara Alphabet Stamp Set
• American Crafts Patterned Paper
• Willow Tree Crafts Journalling Spot Stamp

Details

The small journalling spot was stamped on the scrap torn off the large Blue block. Stamp this on the edge first and cut out, then tear across the bottom to make sure it fits. I didn’t and it was a bit close!

Alternative Options

Use 2 6×4 Portrait photos instead of the 8×6

Some patterned papers have so much pattern, that if you cut them up they can actually look like a number of different sheets. This paper from Sassafras Lass is like that, all the pattern here is from one sheet.
