Altered journals

I needed to make something for a swap that was Thanksgiving or Christmas themed. I had such a hard time finding something. I looked at all the stuff i had to alter and decided on these. I really like how they came out. The leaf stamps are OLD Close to My Heart Stamps. They are actually wood stamps. The colors are autumn terrecotta and Pansy Purple. The saying is an irish blessing. I thought that was appropriate for Thanksgiving. Hope the 2 ladies like these!!

On there, there are 56 cards for Oct. Wow, that sure adds up with these workshops from the WISHES book.

Oct LO's #1-5

These are late in posting but they were done in Oct. The last one was a speed scrap. I could not get into my computer to do this digi, so i did it paper and love how it came out. The 1st LO is using a paper piecing a friend made and gave to me. Thanks Deanna! It is so cute on here!!
