Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas.... Christmas Journal 2010

My friend Carole http://carolescraftycorner.blogspot.com/2010/11/christmas-journal-2010.html who's very creative blog is well worth a look at decided that this year she was going to journal her Christmas from the 1st of December till the 6th January. Well I love Christmas and thought what a fab idea, so asked Carole if she minded me playing along, she was more than pleased to have a play mate, and in fact we have some other friends who are playing along as well, but i will leave them to tell you who they are.

Well I had just the ideal journal ready to use A Brenda Pinnock I believe card keeper from 2007, which had been sat waiting to be altered However I felt it need a little bit of jazzing up and then I was good to go. I also altered the inside front and back cover to contain pockets. I am all eager to go on this one. So its only 9th November ...its beginning to look a lot like Christmas :)


The journal after a little jazzing up. It did not need much I added some red, purple ribbon, some black lace a tag and three bells in red, green and purple to match the baubles
