'Altered Journal' By Amelia Khalik

This week is quite interesting, the DT's has been assigned an altered project using the Dec Kit. When i first started scrapping i was so into Altered Journal that i even sell them to friends and at open bazaar. It seems i made lots and plenty of them every week, not until i found my interest diverted to layout! lol. Now i only make them on a demand basis.

So for this week i decided that i should dedicate my altered project to doing a journal. Let me go through this simple process with you. I bought the note book from a local bookstore. I decided to go for black because one it is my fav colour, two i wanted to used a pattern paper for the front cover hence a dark background will look less busy.

I prep the base by slapping a thin layer of gesso. Layered doilies for the background, add die cut, butterflies, blings and stick pins. Prima packaging are versatile, i die cut a flower from Tattered Floral dies n added it to the cover of the journal. Extra pockets on the inside of the journal to store extra tags/bookmark. Rub ons are a great addition to the tags, it adds an interesting look to a rather plain pattern paper. Have u tried misting your seams? I did mine in a light pink shades. A cheap way to replace ribbons and the best part is you can have it in any colour you wish! How cool is that?

So there you have it. A simple step of my Altered Journal. Do drop by tomorrow for another Altered project from the dt's. Have fun exploring. :))
