I'm making Postoids!

School is now out for the summer for my kids. It seems like we are going to be very busy. My son is going to require a lot of hauling around. He is going to have football practice 3 times a week in the morning and Drivers Ed. Every evening. I'm tired just thinking about dropping him off and picking him up everyday. lol!

This past weekend, we had a graduation party to go to. It was so much fun! My daughter graduates next year. I'm sad already to think that she will be leaving for college and leaving home.

I have found time to start making some awesome junk journal embellishments. I watched a you tube video on how to make postoids (Faux Postage Stamps) and now i can't stop making them. Take a look. I also broke out my Fuse it tool and made organizer pockets for my junk journal tags etc... I've been trying to make things ahead of time so that i can just grab them and decorate. Fun Fun!!!!

I had all of these mini stamp sets in a pile ready to get rid of and then i took all of them out to use them again. I can't get rid of anything!

Junk Journal for a special Lady!

I've been working on this junk journal when i've had some free time. I made it for Wendy Wyman the owner of Repeat Impression Stamps. I made the cover for a Tutorial that i created a couple weeks back. Since then, i've added Wendys name to the front, added a closure and finished all of the inside. Wendy is so generous with her Design team and i thought that this would be a fun way for me to say Thanks. I have to get it in the mail today. This isn't all of the pages of the journal, but i wanted to show a few.
