Ledger Journal Page

Hello friends! Today I have an art journaling / scrapbooking page to share, made in Dina Wakley's Ledger Journal.

There is something about the Ledger Journal that makes me want to use photos for the pages. I think it is because I loved to use ledger paper when I did lots of scrapbooking and because ledger papers remind me of my grandfather's and great grandfather's country-side store. Here I used a childhood photo of my Mom. 

Ink Victorian Velvet through Simon Says Stamp Bubbles stencil. I used to use Victorian Velvet a lot in the past, but not so much lately. I don't even know why. I really do like it.

Stamp Simon Says Stamp Pepita Background with Weathered Wood Distress Ink. I almost never stamp with Distress Ink in this way, without misting with water first, but wanted that splotchy and textured look for this background. The Pepita Background is one of my stamp designs and it was actually inspired by my maternal grandmother, who liked this pattern on clothes.

Mist through Tim Holtz Flourish stencil with Distress Spritz Saltwater Taffy.

The page was embellished with elements from 49 and Market Faded Memory Lane Ephemera and Wildflower Laser Cuts, as well as some elements from Travel Diaries.

I stamped the tag with a sentiment from Tim Holtz Warehouse District and Faded Burlap Archival Ink. 'Photograph' comes from that same stamp set. 'Mom' is from Simon Says Stamp Sunflower Meadow.

The small hearts were die cut from Simon Says Stamp Luxe Glitter Cardstock using the Drawn Hearts die.

This sentiment comes from Simon Says Stamp Wild & Free Flowers. 

I really like these large floral laser cuts. The sentiment comes from Tim Holtz Tiny Text.

I inked the edges of some of the ephemera pieces and sanded some. The envelope was folded and inked.

The cameras come from 49 and Market Travel Diaries. My grandfather liked photography and also developed his own photos in his dark room.

This page was partly inspired by this large faded flower, since I wanted to use it on something and it is pretty large. The sentiment comes from Simon Says Stamp Sunflower Meadow.

There is more ephemera and stamped sentiments here and there.

I also really like photo strips. Lots of old favorite elements on this page.

Happy crafting!
