I love the journal spots by jillibean soup. They are just the right size , just the right size to tuck and really cute!!!! Hope you are inspired and thanks for stopping by!!!

Acrylic card


I saw this at a scrapbooking show last year and thought it was very cool to use an envelope as a pocket for the inside of the card. Here is my version. I used one acrylic sheet as the back of the card . I Stamped it with brown Stazon ink, along with the envelope, and attached to the acrylic card back. Added some ribbon and a flower to the front. The card is about 5" x 7". Easy project and you can make it as pretty or plain and simple as you want. Thanks for stopping by and I have a great New Year's !!!!
