June 16

Happy Tuesday!

Virginia is going to knock your socks off with her 50 cent altered weekly journal!
 She found this cool little planner at Michael's and yes, it was only 50 cents. 

She liked all the cool pockets and thought she could dress this up into something pretty special. 
Check out her step by step process...

1. Make die cut with Lovely Link Fri-Dies
2. Create the template with Bubble Box Fri-Die
3. Cut out a few Mon-Ami Fri-Dies


4. Emboss the title with CAS-ual Elegance 
5. Stamp flowers with Lovely 
6. Plan out the design and create a large flower with Mon Ami Fleur Fri-Die


7. Glue the finished stamped design with Glossy Accent
8. Sew the small flower for extra accent
9. Add Liquid Pearl and sequins for final touches


Lastly, the Bubble Fri-Die was added to personalize the planner.
(Before and after transformation)


Who knew that this planner only costs $0.50?

I think my favorite part is how she made the little Mon Ami Fleurs fan around like a pinwheel. 
This is awesome! 
Such a great reminder of how we can turn something ordinary into something extraordinary with a little bit of imagination, and a whole lot of fun!

See, I've known how amazing Virginia is for quite a while now, but the way she's "doctored" this little book is remarkable. That flower, she made, alone makes me swoon.
