A fairytale journal

I'm sure a lot of you are experiencing problems with blogger and comments. It's pretty annoying and I'm thinking of changing to something else. We'll see.

Well I thought I would share some pages from the Swap-bot fairytale journal I made. I won't show every page because that would be way to many pictures, plus a lot of them are fairly similar. Maybe I will add them to my flickr (I have so many photos I need to add there).

This is the front cover of the journal. I bought a cute little carriage charm.

It was so fat when it was done.

Pretty much the first page. That's one of my Polyvore sets that I have shared before.

I made some envelopes and put some pretty paper inside.

I printed out some of the fairytale stories that I loved.

More little envelopes. This has tiny cards with a castle on it inside.

A Snow White page.

I bought a few bits from Etsy. This ACEO is from Darkling Woods etsy shop.

This Little Red Riding Hood art postcard is from Matilou Etsy.

I got this Red Riding Hood button/bookmark from Buttonsbylulu madeit shop.

Just a Thumbelina movie quote and picture.

I got this little fairytale from Papier Mache magazine. It's a little download story I bought.

And the ending. I had a fairytale paper pack. I just stamped the Happily Ever After.

So basically I filled it up with pictures, quotes, little gifts and gave my opinions on some of the fairytales. It was a fun swap! I'm really loving these journals swaps. They're more effort but fun (especially if you get one that is lovely back).

Anyway, I'm going back to doing my to do and thinking about moving my blog somewhere else. Have a great rest of week.

Amazing! Your partner is the luckiest of all! It's so clear that you took so much time and put so much love into it . . . she's gonna love it. :)

I LOVE the print on the envelopes you made! My scrapbooking shops here don't always provide the prettiest. And when they do, they're MUCH too expensive. :(

As for the comment thing, I haven't experienced anything bad myself. Then again, I haven't been around much lately. What's been going on?

Blogger is my biggest source of frustration online most days! I am still working with it in Internet Explorer just so that it is more cooperative rather than in Chrome which I normally work in!

Anyway rant over, I love your journal and you must have put in a lot of time and thought to make it so pretty.
