Christmas Rose Journal Kit

I'm creating a "Card and Crafting" book, and this is an inside page from that book which I've made ready to attach a Christmas card I received in a card swap, that is currently hanging with our other cards in the sitting room.

I took several elements from the kit into one of my graphics packages and resized, moved around, etc., until I had an A4 page layout I was happy with.

On another page I put a couple of the "flower" elements, the panel and another element. Both the pages were printed out onto 250gsm, Super Smooth white cardstock.

The main page was trimmed and I used a punch to round the corners, and the elements on the second sheet were cut out.

I don't want too much bulk on the page, so I used the quick grab wet glue to attach the sheet to a page inside the book, and glue gel to attach the elements practically flat to the page.

With the panel I only put glue along three sides as the bottom element is tucked under the bottom of it to hold it in place.

I wrote the date of the swap on the panel - Tachwedd 2013 being November 2013 in Welsh.
