A Focus on Journaling

This project was created using myStamp BOX stamps in conjunction with two of our preferred partners:  Clear Scraps and Helmar Adhesive.

I used a Clear Scraps mini album and various other Clear Scraps shapes to form the base of this project.  The journaling for the album was done with three different myStamp BOX sets:  Mini Alpha,  Just Add Notes and Hive of Life.  To stick everything in place, I used a variety of Helmar adhesives, namely V2 Vellum Adhesive, Premium Craft Glue (trim) and Quick Fix Adhesive Runner.

When I create albums using acrylic, I like to allow parts of the previous page to show through onto the next.  In essence, I make each page build upon the previous to create the whole.  Here is a snapshot of how the album is laid out:

If you look closely at the pages along the top, you will see how each one builds upon the one before.  Once I have completed a thought, if you will, the next page will cover the previous bit and start a new thought.  The pages across the bottom are laid out similarly.

Looking more closely at the journaling, you will see the Mini Alpha set in use here.

To add date details, I used the Memories seal from the Just Add Notes set:

The Hive of Life set is also great for adding  a little touch of journaling.
