We are very excited to share with you the NEW Sizzix  ScoreBoard Journal Die by Eileen Hull.  We both created our own unique journals using the same die.  We will share with you step by step instructions for both of these fun books! (This may be a long post, but so worth the yummy goodness that you are going to see! After each tutorial there will be a supply list, this way you can create one or both journals! You all get a BONUS today, TWO Journals ONE Post! Grab a cup of coffee, a Diet Coke or a glass of Wine.  Kick your feet up and get ready to be inspired friends!!

My daughter often says, “Mom, I had the craziest dream last night!”  Then she proceeds to give me all of the details that she can recall.  I’ve always thought it would be fun to keep track of those dreams.  This bright bohemian journal is just right for jotting down thoughts, ideas, and dreams.  Many fun patterns can be created using your favorite stencil and some modeling paste.  The vibrant colors add a touch of whimsy. 
 

1. Choose preferred stencil and create pattern on matboard journal cover using modeling paste.  Let dry, or use heat gun.
2. Using Gelatos, color front and back cover of book in desired pattern.  (Also color the tabs and name plates that you want to use.)  It is okay to color right over modeling paste. 
3. Use a small amount of water and a cloth or paint brush to blend the Gelato Colors.  Let dry, or use heat gun.
4. Stamp chosen sentiment on cover using white ink.
5. Using gold ink, highlight the patterns created with modeling paste.  Simply rub ink pad over raised surfaces.  (Use paint brush apply ink if desired.)
6. Ink edges of journal insert pages with gold ink.
7. Use gold spritz and gently mist chosen embellishment (butterfly).  Let dry, then adhere to journal cover.
8. Adhere nameplates and tabs to desired insert pages.
9. Use desired stamps with gold ink and metallic markers to add detail to insert pages.
10. Bind book with gold cording and white ribbon.  Add embellishments to binding if desired.  (Tassels, antique buttons, etc;)
