Happy New Year - Altered Journal

Hi everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I hope everyone had a great start into a wonderful new year 2012!

I started the year by altering an old and ugly little hardbound journal into a 'tie-through' 2012 journal.
This is my first ever journal I created and it will definitely not be my last :-)
 I really had a blast with this little project! 

This is what the original hardbound journal looked like before I started creating (as I told you.. old and ugly *lol*)

And here are some pictures of my altered version :-)

• stamps - Whimsy Stamps 'Lavish Flourished' by Raindrop Echo Designs

Bookworm (StampARTic)

The new challenge on 'StampARTic' is 'animals'! I just downloaded the sampler of the cute 'Luvbug' kit by Mari Koegelenberg Creations and saw this cuuuute little label with the bug/caterpillar/worm(whatever?) on it. So I thought this would be perfect for a bookmark :) The label looked a bit worn and so I distressed it further more and added some faux stitching to it. This is not a usual scrap/hybrid style, but I love the result anyway ;-) Hope you like it, too :)

Die neue Herausforderung bei 'StampARTic' ist 'Tiere'! Ich habe gerade Beispiel Pack vom niedlichen 'Luvbug' Kits von Mari Koegelenberg Creations heruntergeladen und habe diese ooooberherzige Würmchen, Käferchen, Raupe (was auch immer?) gesehen. Und ich fand das ist einfach perfekt für ein Lesezeichen :) Das Label sah eh schon so ein bisschen benutzt aus und so habe ich es noch weiter distressed und auch noch ein wenig 'faux stitching' hinzugefügt. Das ist zwar nicht der übeliche Hybrid/Scrap-Stil aber ich mag das Ergebnis trotzdem ;-) Ich hoffe Ihr mögt es auch :)
