New Years Journal

Hello and Happy New Year!  I hope you all had a fabulous night last night!  We stayed in and ate and ate and watched the countdown on tv.  My two kiddos stayed up just past midnight.  I didn't think they would make it...LOL!!  Okay, on to my project.  I've used a K&Company Designer pad and turned it into a journal. 

The pages have botanicals with graph or ledger styles so I thought it would be perfect for journaling.

Recipe:
K&Company Designer paper pad (4.75" x 7.5")
Pink Paislee - Color Wash stack
Core'dinations - pink cardstock
When I Was a Kid Cricut cart - frame @ 4"
MS All Occasions Cake Art Cricut cart - bannerette @ 1 1/4", '2014' @ 1/2"
