Hi friends! I used some thrift finds, paper bits & pieces along with a Dollar Tree Journal and used it all to make a sweet giftable journal.
I work for Paper Wishes/Hot Off The Press and this channel is a hobby. I'm not paid to promote Paper Wishes/Hot Off The Press on this channel; however as an employee I do receive free or discounted Hot Off The Press paper that I use in my videos.
I pay for the shipping on all of my giveaways and that expense adds up. If you like my videos I’d love for you to help with happy mail shipping fees. Even $1 would help www.buymeacoffee.com/lenaecreatL

How beautiful is this writing journal! I love the paper design, the colors, the lace the ribbons, and definitely the velvet touch. The flower and green leaf compliments the cover. The inside pockets are awesome. What a clever idea to use as a flapper those circles to open the inside folder. Your creativity and inexpensive wise thrifty-Ness makes your wonderful crafts an attraction. At least for me. Please continue sharing. Thank you, thank you!

I am a subbie. I just do not comment . This is a beautiful journal . No kits or Tim Holtz. Just different things new and old. The best I have seen in a long time. A memory book for my beautiful mom. She passed 3 yrs ago. Her favorite color purple. It is just perfect . Amazing job. Would love to win it.

I love this LeNae! The velvet Peony and leaf are cracking me up! When I was little, I loved velvet! I thought it was SO luxurious and felt so rich (expensive)!!! I was SURE only rich people could afford velvet!!! That blue vase is so cute. Will you please come to my house and decorate (lol)? In your pictures, it looks so warm and inviting! Maybe I could just move in with you and we could play crafts (rofl)?!!!! I'll say it AGAIN: you clearly have some great thrift stores in your area. In our part of the prairie, I NEVER find good stuff like you score!!! TFS! By the way, you had me trembling when you were throwing out measurements! In my opinion, your "measurement": "I'm only going to need not a lot" was spot on!!! "hugs, gr
