Poppies Projects, Day Four

More poppies headed your way today ...  on a really pretty journal cover.  As you can tell, if you've been following my posts, I love decorating journals.  I do a lot of writing, for sure, but they make great little gifts, too.  Enjoy!

Flowering Foils Journal

When I started coloring the gorgeous flowers in our Flowering Foils DSP, I knew I wanted to use some of it to decorate another journal.  I added a layer of our SAB vellum and love the result.

I've been playing with lots and lots of purples for some time now and love it.  In another post, I'll share some of my studio displays, including my purples display. 

Yes, this project involves some serious fussy cutting, but I felt it was well worth it.  I attached the flowers to the vellum and then added Liquid Tombow on the back of the vellum behind the flowers, so it wouldn't show through to the front of the project.  

CLASSES 'ON HOLD' FOR NOW.

TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS.

Pressed Petals ... More Journals

Well ... we're trying to get back to normal around here ... or, at least closer to normal.  At this stage of our grief, we're left with a big, empty spot in our hearts.  There's also the overwhelming feeling of being the only one left in the immediate family to settle all the final affairs.   We feel a fatigue that goes to our very bones.
The memorial service was Tuesday and it was just beautiful.  We were so touched by so many friends who came to pay their respects and by family who traveled 8 or more hours to be there.  All of my 4 grandchildren were there and 5 of Ilah's great grandchildren were there ... the youngest being just a few weeks old.
One of the most touching moments to me was seeing a very long row of chairs filled with Ilah's PEO sisters from her chapter.  That was so special to me.  Being a PEO member myself, I know how close the bonds of PEO sisters can be and how much it means in your life. 
We're still receiving beautiful cards ... and gorgeous flowers ... from friends of ours.  I have a ton of thank you notes to make and send. 
It's time to try to focus on something closer to normal, to take our minds off the grief and unbelievable exhaustion.  So ... I have some more journals for you today.  I love these!

This card was the inspiration for the journal above.

Pressed Petals Series, Part 3 ... Box Projects

To continue our series, I have some boxes for you today ... 3 from DSP and a decorated copper tin.  I'd love to hear back from you if you'd care to leave a comment.  Enjoy!
First of all...
Here's the DSP that we'll be using for these projects:

... and here are my projects:

2 boxes and a decorated journal cover ...

... and another journal and another box ...   (The Merry Merlot ribbon on the middle box is retired, but I have a stash of it that I'm still enjoying.)

... and lots and lots of cards ...  We'll be taking a closer look at the cards in future posts.

Here's a better look at my third box.

The vellum flower has 10 punched petals and about 3 punched leaves.  (Perennial Essence Vellum CS #149101)

I love this ribbon with my box!  (Braided Linen Trim #147808)  I've used that cute little fuzzy flower center again here.  Love it!

... and here's my copper tin:

The tin has a little fussy cutting, a stamped die cut piece and some of our gorgeous copper ribbon.  I 'fuzzed out' the ends of the ribbon for a little more texture.  What should I put in my box?

I hope you've enjoyed my projects and will come back soon to see all my cards.

Here's the information, if you'd like to order some of these gorgeous papers:
