My project I am sharing today was a gift for a friend...it is an altered journal from the $1.00 bin at Michaels that I have had in my closet for a few years :) I have one that a friend made for me and it is something I use daily. On the front of the book I have used 2 maggie stamps the open gate and Tilda holding a broom and I just cut the broom off. The border of the page is graphics from Laurie Furnell, I have added stickles for some pop.
The inside cover is graphics, and on the divider page I have used Longing Tilda.
The next page is with Tilda with 3 tulips I think, and then I used this funny lady from a senior graphic for the back cover. My friend who I made this for I met on another board where all we used were graphics and we have stayed in touch so I combined the old and the new !
All of my images are colored with copics. You can purchase all you Tildas from Magnolia-licous and don't forget now you can get the minis Tildas which are so much fun !
Challenges:
Just Magnolia - anything goes
Totally Gorjuss - for someone special
Thats it for me today hope you find some time to get creative.
Hugs♥

Hello Charlene! what a sweet project, thanks for sharing it with us. I love all the details you added, especially the image greeting internet friends! thank God for them... I'M sure your friend will treasure.
Happy New year, health & love.
Lots of time in your craftroom.

I love your inventory challenge idea...wish I could be so disciplined. Hey there...did you know you can avoid buying new Copics and just have them refilled? My Favorite Things refills them for a nominal fee. I came across it today and thought it was a great idea. Happy New Year!!
Love it, Sis! And I know that "special someone" loves it too (& no.....it's not me.....LOL). It's just darling! Every page is a treasure!
You have been such an inspiration to me & I'm so glad the Lord put us together in this crazy life.
Love you bunches & bunches ~
