ATC Ticket Journal

Hello and happy Friday!! Do you ever get inspired while cleaning up the random pieces on your table? That's how this ATC Ticket Journal came about. While I was cleaning up the aftermath of previous projects I ran across a photo with red stitching alongside a ticket and piece of floral ephemera from there the layers started to flow. The ATC Ticket Journal is the perfect size for a quick project you can complete in an afternoon. I also love that the chipboard is thin enough to stitch on your sewing machine.

I kept my layers simple using 3-5 pieces of ephemera. I love how the red stitching pops and adds so much detail. 

The Ticket Journal is the perfect size with 5 panels. Enough to tell a story but not overwhelming when it comes to decorating. 

Washi tape adds just the right amount of detail in the background. 

That pop of red sets my heart aflutter. 

I didn't decorate the back of the tickets yet so that I can have another reason to clean up the piles of inspiration that accumulate on my table. What's currently on your table?

Witches Ball ATC Ticket Journal

Hello!! I'm here today with an ATC Ticket Journal with a little Halloween twist inspired by the Mini Mask Shapes. The mini masks fit perfectly on these Photobooth photos from Tim Holtz. As I started playing around with the images I thought of the ATC Ticket Journal as a mini scrapbook from a Halloween party. 

Begin by cutting Worn Wallpaper and various patterns from the Paper Stash Halloween to size for each section of the Journal. Adhere papers to Journal and ink edges with Spiced Marmalade and Black Soot Distress Ink. On the 3 middle panels layer various Halloween washi tapes. 

Prepare Photobooth photos by roughing up the edges using a Paper Distresser and inking with Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Inks. 

Layer photos on patterned paper and cut to size with pinking shears. Messy stitch around the photos.  

Look at how awesomely cute these are!! 

Heat emboss the masks with various glitter powders. Adhere to photos.

Die cut the lettering for the front and back cover from black glitter paper using Tim Holtz's Wanted Alphabet die from Sizzix. 

Add die cut stars from the Witchcraft die. 

When looking for accents look at dies that have shapes that can be used in various ways. Such as the witch hat taken from the Witchcraft die. The larger star is from the Treat Bag set and the numbers come from the Mixed Media 6 set. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing how this super quick and easy project came together. Are you finding time to sneak in some Halloween creating?
