Kraftin' Kimmie August Skrappy Challenge...Anything But A Card

 Hello Krafty Friends!

It's August and that means it's time for a brand new
SKRAPPY CHALLENGE

with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

I'm excited to share my very first project as a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Design Team member 😊.

I've created a journal to track my workouts. I scored a 5 1/2" tall x 9" wide piece of white card stock at 4 1/4" and 4 1/2". I then taped the Semi Circles Stencil over the front and added the Wonderful Waves Stencil over top then stencilled with Designer Denim. I then taped the stencil circles over the wave stencilling, adding the Krafty Kaidescope Stencil over top and inking with Amazing Azure Hybrid Ink.

I stamped these cute koalas from The Wild Side stamp set and coloured them with W1,2,3,4 and 6, R000 and R21. The bamboo is coloured with E25, E50, YG41 and YG67. B22 is used on the clouds and Y02 and YR20 for the sun. I fussy cut all the images and glued them to the front cover, using one of the clouds to title the journal.

The inner pages are A5 planner inserts from my stash and I trimmed the holes off, rounded the corners and folded in half. I added stencilling to the inner pages with the Rugged Rope stencil and Amazing Azure Hybrid ink. 

I then pierced along the fold with the bookbinding guide and piercing tool from the We R Memory Keepers Journal Book Binding Punch Guide. I folded the cover along the scored edges and also then pierced stitching holes down the centre. 

The final step is to stitch all the layers together and the journal is done!

Make sure you head to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps to join the Linky Party and see what the Design Team inspiration for the challenge.

Happy Crafting!
