Retrofresh This and That Journal Cover
This was one of my more challenging, but rewarding Stampin' Up adventures. I LOVE the This and That journals that Stampin' Up has developed. They are simple smash-book like journals complete with a full line of coordinating products. Coordination is what Stampin' Up does best. Look at all the goodness that Stampin' Up has to offer in this retrofresh line:

As you can see, the cover of the journal (center picture in grid) has a cardboard front which is debossed with a camera. I was dying to re-create the camera with the awesome Retrofresh designer series paper, but had resigned to not do it because I could not imagine how I would. My talented team member and graphic designer (Jessica Bramlett) suggested I use waxed paper, trace the camera and then cut out the pieces, trace onto the designer paper and then cut the pieces out. So... that's what I did. Can I tell you, I tried this with my crafter school class (AGES 7-9!!!) and they did it too. Easy- Peasy. Just a little time investment and voila - you have this pretty cover. One more tip: Use circle punches where you can. Then I tied our pretty ribbons down the edge of the spiral to make it extra special.
What a great gift or to spoil yourself. Your grad or teacher would love!!!
