Life's a Garden Journal

Day 2 of the Berrylicious release party continues with altered items.  I chose to make a mini album to chronicle our adventures in gardening this summer.  I used a mix of acrylic and paper lunch bags to make the album.

Supplies:  Paper, Die Cuts, Stickers, Chipboard (Imaginisce), Metal (Making Memories), Flowers (American Crafts), Die Cuts (Jenni Bowlin), Acrylic Album (Prima), Lunch Bags, Stampe (myStamp BOX, Creative Café), Letters (Jillibean Soup), Pins (Maya Roads)

I love using paper bags to make mini albums.  There are just so many folds and pocks to tuck things into.

One of our family favourites is Rhubarb Lemonade. I included the recipe in this journal and a little place to mark the date of when we make our first batch.

Notice how I used my Glossy Accents again on the die cuts to make the ice appear more "ice-like".

I love this calendar stamp by Creative Café.  I have May - July calendars in this book so we can keep track of when things are planted and when we harvert food.

There you have it.   I am really looking forward to the day when I can start filling in dates and photos.  Our garden is alot of fun for the whole family and besides that, I've had my fill of winter.

With these happy thoughts of spring, I'll leave you for today.  Be sure to stop back tomorrow for a Berrylicious card.
