Decoupaged Library Pockets for Junk journals

I am happy to say that our horse has survived another HOT fair.  My husband and daughter got up this morning to move him back to where we board him. Alina said that he was so happy that he couldn't wait to roll in the dirt. lol!

Now maybe i can get something finished to post once in awhile. I'm going to work in the mornings only this school year. My son has football games and practices to be picked up from and i don't want to miss a thing.

Today i'm sharing some of the library pockets that i created for my junk journals out of old book pages.  Right now, i have about 5 that I'm working on.  My friend is going to try selling them at our local college so i'm going to get some finished and ready for her to sell.

Holy Crap... It's A Blog Hop!

I just have to say that I Love these stamps! So Funny!
If you came from Cheri 's Blog then you are on the right path.
Please join us at The House That Stamps Built for a blog hop celebrating Repeat Impressions' newest stamp series... Holy Crap! Yup, hehe... it's true... Wendy's designed a humorous collection of stamps around something she's confessed to saying a little too often.
This new stamp series starts with a large "holy crap!" sentiment which can be paired with any of the great variety of smaller words and sentiments to create a wide range of funny cards. A few theme appropriate images are also included. Please visit Repeat Impressions' online store to check out the entire Holy Crap! collection.


So today all the RI Rock Stars are kicking off a blog hop to showcase some of the new designs and also give you an opportunity to win the stamps!
To participate in the hop all you have to do is visit The House That Stamps Built blog and the blogs of all the Rock Stars listed there. On each blog you will find a key letter. After you collect all the letters, use the letters to create the proper word and then email it to Wendy to be eligible for the blog candy.



My letter for you is…"T"
(Please only include the letter assigned to you. I have listed them all in parenthesis along with the links to all your blogs below in the running order for the hop.)

You must complete the hop and email Wendy the correct word no later than 5pm eastern time on Monday, July 11th. The blog candy for this hop… an unmounted sheet of the new "Holy Crap!" stamps! Wendy will announce the winner on Tuesday, July 12th on Repeat Impressions' Facebook page so please be sure to "Like" and follow them there if you don't already.

Deonna- You are HERE

Collect all of the letters for your word and email it to Wendy at
mailto:wendy@repeatimpressions.com

Happy Hopping! Now hop on over to Heather's Blog
