Just for Jane!

My friend Jane was commenting on how I have not posted in ages, so how about 2 in a row to make up for it? I have been busy creating, just not posting!
One of my dearest friends moved to Thailand for 2 years at the beginning of August. Thank goodness for Skype, we at least get to comunicate, albeit fuzzily, face to face!
I made her this journal to record her special Thailand moments:
I used:

• Stampin Up!® On Board Art Journal (binding removed, replaced by hinged rings)
• Urban Garden Designer Series Paper
• On Board Batch of Blooms chipboard flower and circle
• Rhinestone Brads
• Styled Silver Hodgpodge
• Flower Designer Brads
• Pewter Jumbo Eyelets
• Baja Breeze Striped Grosgrain ribbon
• Crystal Effects
• Short Order Alphabet stamp set
• Rub ons
• Kiwi Kiss/Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon
• Basic Gray Taffeta ribbon
• Scallop Border punch
  

• Round Tab punch
• Boho Blossoms punch
• Crop-A-Dile
• Word Window punch
• Certainly Celery, Baja Breeze and Not Quite Navy card stock
• Not Quite Navy, Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze and Basic Gray ink
• Not Quite Navy Marker
• Forever Flowers Standard wheel

• Always stamp set
• Calendar Alphabet and Numbers stamp set
• Calendar stamp set

Each month has a space for photos, journalling, keepsakes and a calendar to quickly record moments she doesn't want to forget, without the time required to keep a diary/scrapbook going. I added more pages with the Spiral punch (that's how you get the covers decorated too), so with 2 years worth in the Journal, it became too fat for its original binding!
Miss you Nicola. Hugs and Kisses for Garry, AJ, Bessi, Keegan and Imi...
