HAPPY HOLIDAYS MY CRAFTY FRIENDS!! I am excited to share this project with you that I've been working on and off in between other projects. I love love anything shabby chic and I definitely had to have this amazing kit that I purchased from Ooh la la Vintage Treasures on Zibbet. Doreen is the owner and she puts together beautiful shabby chic kits, this one was called Chateau Holiday Kit. I hope that you love what I created just as much as I do!! I think I am still going to be working on the altered folder and make a small tag album to go inside the embossed glassine bag. When I do I will share it with you on another post!
To alter the folder that came in the kit, I decided I would use different papers that I have been hoarding for the perfect project. For the folder I used Stamperia's Sweet Christmas. This kit came with a mini junk journal that just needed to be put together and I used papers and tags from that same collection, Sweet Christmas and I also used some papers from Recollections Sugar Blush. The kit also included some papers and I used some from there as well.
I also altered these Guest checks that came in the kit, I used lace, I fussy cut the bow and cut out these adorable small tags. The super adorable charm came with the kit. I absolutely love it!!
On all of the papers that I adhered on the file folder and mini journal, I used Helmar Tiger Grip, I also used the Helmar Fabric Glue which is a favorite of mine. On a couple of areas on the mini album that I wanted some embellishments propped up I used Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots, which are great to used in place of dimensional dots or tape because you are able to control how propped up you want your embellishments.
Here is a short video I created of my Shabby Christmas Mini Junk Journal. I hope that you like what I created this month and I want to wish each and everyone of you a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! I'll see you all in 2020!! God Bless You All~ Hugs~ Jeanne
