This week, the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is to use a specialty paper. I chose corrugated. With corrugated, you get fabulous color, durability, and of course...the awesome texture.
Like most crafters, I have hundreds of pretty little papers that I can't bear to part with. This week, I used these little snippets to create a miniature junk journal. This was so easy that I can't wait to share! I punched a hole through the individual papers (very little cutting involved...I liked them different lengths) and punched holes in the corrugated covers and tied it together with string. That's it! Now I have a pretty, yet sturdy, mini journal in my handbag!
I love the little stamp that decorates my journal cover. The stamp is by Prima. It stamps a perfectly detailed image each time and is about half of the cost of most company's. That's impressive!
