Anita's free gift

Over on 12 Months in View the wonderful Anita van Hal has designed some art journaling pages which are free to download for those taking part.

I was privileged to be on the Design Team for JustBYourself and you can see some of the things I made with Anita's designs.

2012 Memories Journals

I decided that I would make a Zine with one of Anita's designs.   I printed off the Notes sheet onto thin card and the Overlay sheet on copier paper. I also printed out the March quotes.

I forgot to set the printer to no borders so as you can see there was a white line all round the page which I trimmed off.

I cut out the note holder and the notecard.  I inked the quotes page using Mustard Seed Distress Ink.  I also inked a spare piece of paper and stamped the daffodils with the same ink.
I folded the overlay printout into a Zine.

I stamped the word March on a bit of the spare paper and stuck it on the front with a cut out daffodil.

I cut up the quote and stuck it on the page with another of the daffodils.

I assembled the note holder and stuck it together with double-sided tape and then stuck it onto my zine page.  I stuck the cut up quote onto the holder.

I stamped some daffodils onto the background image.  I inked the edges of the cut up quote with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink before sticking it down.

I cut out part of the March verse and inked around the edges to stick on the back page.

A finished zine.  Although there's scope for doodling!

I look forward to seeing how you use Anita's beautiful images.

Thanks for popping by.
