  Gratitude Journal Simple Stories- Summer Farmhouse by Mel 'The Twilight Scrapper' for Scrap of your life .... I created this journal as a gift. As we all know times right now are tough often our very nearest and dearest are often in struggles that we are unaware of. Simple Stories Summer Farmhouse 6 x8 paper pad . The collection I used to create this project was Summer Farmhouse by simple stories. The title are Simple stories foam stickers  and I have painted them with teal acrylic paint. I used the 12 x 12 Simple Stories Summer farmhouse sticker Sheet . Paper 12 x 12 collection Simple Stories Summer Farmhouse . I started the cover with watercolour paper and Vicki Boutin water colour markers .The floral die cut was purchased from scrap of you life pre cut. Each page was designed around the idea of calming.

The different colours blend eally well so dont be afraid to mix colours. I have used these with a water brush marker to help water down the colour as it is very intense. When its dry its time to fussy cut. The tag I used is also a scrap I have wiped through some left over watered down paint medium.
