I had this purchased journal from Recollections that I got in the clearance section at Michael's. It already had the corrugated front cover, the canvas binding strip, and white lace ribbon. I sprayed the front with Tattered Angels Walnut Gold and Gold shimmer prays and added some Brown Brushos crystal colors to it while still wet. The embossed piece was a Sizzix folder inked in Pumpkin, Blushing Bride, and Rust on white card stock, I used the positive and negative sides of this piece to get the two different looks. Added some ecru vintage style lace ribbon and a fall twine embellishment and Fiskars Gratitude tags. Having the pre-made journal made this fairly quick work, about 45 minutes.
