#paperterraceDTJJ

Jessica at paper terrace put out a challenge: make a journal from Dollar Tree supplies.

Actually I had no intension of participating, but on a trip to Dollar Tree I spotted the Flamingo padded mailer (how cute is that) & I was hooked. 

The rules were to use Dollar Tree supplies that could only total $20 ( approx. 16 items). I bought the mailer & then pulled out 11 Dollar Tree items from my stash.

The cover is backed with fabric and quilted. I'm pleased with how it turned out.


The theme is "color". I wanted to use colored paper for the pages, but it was just too flimsy, so I used it to decorate the white mixed media pages.


The journal is full of colorful pockets, tucks, flips, belly bands, & tags.

Thanks Jessica for a fun challenge!
