For Barbara's challenge today the dessert option is to make a project or card other than A2 size and use the three given colors. I recently purchased these journals from SU and gave it a try today. This was my first go with the colors and they did not turn out as I would have liked on the darker kraft paper (especially the yellow) but I thought I would share it with you anyway in case you are curious about the journals. The kraft covers are sturdy and I think will be very durable; much heavier than SU card stock.
A great challenge for me, Barbara. Thanks for moving me off the A2 card as these might otherwise be sitting in the drawer a year from now.
Thanks for taking a look today.

Oh, Becky, I love this! That leaf spray from Kinda Eclectic is so beautiful, and all the elements go together just so beautifully! I might just have to get some of those journals and CASE you!

I really like what you have done with this journal Becky-the collage look is great and I think the daffodil looks good as is-Barbara got us all going in a different direction this week
