Hi guys! It's Tina, and I've got a quick tutorial for ya. Just a simple approach to creating some of your own personal fillers and journaling cards for your 2012 Project Life. I made several batches using neutral colors so they will be easy to incorporate with my other PL paper items and everyday ephemera.
I first gathered my supplies which included my favorite Mister Huey's, Clay, Calico White and Atmosphere. I used More Gray and More Kraft and several patterned papers from the Classic Calico Collection. I also gathered some stamps and a few embellishments.
I created some simple backgrounds using different stencils, like my favorite SC Ampersand along with the Misters.
After drying, I cut them down to size according to my own PL page protectors. I did a little stamping and added a few stickers. Now I have my own personal journaling cards ready to use!
Thanks for hanging with me today!
tina, this is super cool and something I wouldn't have though to do. I love this idea and think I may have to cave and finally buy that ampersand mask.

Great idea! Would be good for thank you cards or just little notes to use whenever. Thanks!

thanks for the inspiration.
I cut, misted, stamped and embossed all night while catching up on portlandia. It was a lot of fun and I got to use a lot of those SC kit exclusive stamps again.
