Happy Valentine's Day!
Today, I am thrilled to be sharing ideas for the Ella Publishing EZine article this week, Stamped Journaling Spots, for creating your own stamped jouranling spots, labels and tags.
Up first, how aobut a Valentine's layout featuring stamped notebook paper journaling spot accents!
I have always loved the look of notebook paper journaling spots on layouts. Lots of companies have made journaling spot tear off sheets over the years and I'm going to share how easy it is to make your own!
To create these great journaling spots I first ran ledger style patterned paper through my Silhouette Cameo to give that decorative notebook edges with a Kerri Bradford die cut kit (you could also use a notebook edger punch to recreate a similar look). Next, I added a title for my journaling spot my an Ali Edwards Studio AE Stamp. I added glitter pen over the top for an even more pre-made look. Then, I added a sub-title with additional Ali Edwards stamps. Adding text stamping to your journaling spots give them that great pre-made feel that we all love but in a size and style and color that perfectly matches the layout you're working on!
I added layered pre-made die cuts over the sewn on ribbon trims for embellishment.
Here's another example of creating your own stamped label. I am a huge fan of using October Afternoon (or similar) label stickers on my pages but when I don't have one that matches my project, I turn to my stamps to create a custom, perfectly matched accent for my page. I used Papertrey Ink stamps and die for my date label.

With Project Life being so popular (and taking part in this journey myself this year) I'm always looking for ways to increase my creativity with my weekly layouts. One of my favorite ways to personalize my pages is with custom stamped journaling cards.
Becky Higgins sells these plain journaling cards and they are perfect for stamping up and having on hand to include in Project Life or on any layout. I use my PL journaling cards on all kinds of layouts, not just PL!
I used an assortment of stamps from Ali Edwards, Studio Calico and Stampin' Up to create this set of love-themed journaling cards. I added glitter pen over some of the stamped images for texture and interest.

- Ali Edwards Studio AE This One Stamp Set
As I mentioned above on the layout, I am a huge fan of including sticker labels on my scrapbook layouts but I don't always have the right color, the right size of label for what I need. Why not make your own?!
I create this set of stamped labels using images from Papertrey Ink, Stampin' Up and Studio Calico. To create the multi-colored label, I colored the stamp with Memento Markers before stamping on the coordinating die cut label. I love how the different colors give the look of a pre-made label!

Digital die cutting machines give us so many options for creating our own journaling spots and labels! I die cut these file folder journaling spots from ledger paper and stamped them with phrases from Papertrey Ink and Ali Edwards.
