Current project and note to self

 I am currently working on a journal for one of my best friends.  I experimented with a dimensional college for the inside covers.  I am not sure if this was a good idea or not, but lots of ModPodge was used.

Note to self:  when creating a direction image on the inside cover, make sure the outside cover is pointing in the right direction.  My friend will have upside down flowers.  

The base is a cereal box.  The outer cover is made from napkins from Ikea.  The trees in the inner cover are scrap paper and cotton yarn brushed out with a cat brush.

Round tag- Printed another image from thegraphicsfairy.com onto paper I had marbled using shaving cream and cheap acrylic paint.  The background is from an experiment in soap bubble marbling.  In true Jennibellie fashion, the green is mesh from a bag of avocados.  I printed the quote onto tracing paper. The tag needed a strong straight line so I chose the gold ribbon as the tab.  However since th
