Crossroads Cafe

I love all of the cool journal spots on the market today.  Actually, I have quite a collection going now since I seem to pick up a few more every time I am in the scrapbook store.  But I am not a big enough fan of my handwriting to use them often.  I am trying to embrace the imperfection of my script, but in the meantime I have found that hybrid journaling spots are the perfect solution for me.

 

There are tons of adorable digital journaling spots to choose from.  Simply open, type in your text, and print.  Trim, adhere, and there you have it--a journaling spot look with perfectly typed words.

 

I have created a freebie to help get you started.  Download it in our store from the freebies section and you are ready to rock.  I left this batch simple--and transparent--so you can print them out on any paper to match your layout.  Add them to cards, layouts, anything and everything!  Happy Scrapping!

 

 

Design note: I used the journaling spot twice: once on the bottom left.  But I wanted another bracket on the bottom right, to the right of the title.  I duplicated the journaling spot, then used the image>rotate function in Photoshop Elements to flip the spot horizontally.  I used a large round eraser to remove the journaling lines on the flipped layer.  I hand-cut the upper border with the Exacto knife.

Swing by Janice Badger.  Supplies:  Paper: BasicGrey, Journaling spot: Journal Freebies by Dora Phillips at scrapstreet.com (recolored), Alphabet brush: Doodle Block Alphabet by Katie Pertiet (designer digitals), Ink: Clearsnap, Font: Susie’s Hand, Other: Exacto knife.

Journaling: It was so much fun watching Ryan and the boys swinging together at the park.  Ryan played in this park when he was a little boy, and while the equipment has been updated, the fun remains the same.

 

 

Design note: For an extra layer of fun, I printed one of the journaling spots without words onto the blue paper.

 

Journaling:  I love watching the two of you as you cuddle together.  How cute are you in those hats with your matching blue eyes?

Snuggle by Dora Phillips.  Supplies: Paper: Fancy Pants Designs, Chipboard:  Heidi Swapp, Brads:  Making Memories, Font:  Times New Roman, Journaling spots:  Journal Freebies by Dora Phillips for Scrapstreet.com.

 

 

 

Design note: I never use my own handwriting for journaling, so adding a spot and printing it out makes it so much nicer on my layouts.

 

Journaling: Maggie you light up every day for me when i get to see you play and have fun.
