I was fortunate enough
to be an elf
for Santa this year
A friend had a dilemma
Her dtr wanted a field journal
like in the Tinkerbell movie
She didn't know where to get one
and she posted it on fb
I've made a lot of journals
so I was up
for a challenge
and offered to help
or make one
I started off covering the
front, back and insides
with glittery cardstock
(from Joanns)
I cut the letters
out with Cricut
using the exclusive alphabet
in the craft room
I added a
Tinkerbell Sticker
and gems
I also added ribbon ties
I covered the pocket
with Tinkerbell paper
(from Joanns)
The tag
says:
(from the movie)
I didn't want to over embellish
since this was her creativity
journal
I gathered it all up
in a plastic container
and applied her name
on the outside
(cut out of vinyl
w/Cricut Calligraphy)
I had a lot of extras
I added into the box
and her Mom bought
some doo-dads too
Santa wrapped it up
for delivery
shhhh don't tell anyone
I helped Santas this yr
