This crafty journal by Vintaj Designer/Owner Jeanne Holland would make the perfect treasure to remember your holiday moments or give as a gift. Jeanne imprinted our Brand New 3 x 3 Altered Blank Canvas with Peace on Earth, dabbed an acrylic Paint Dabber and wiped the “Canvas” to bring color to the letters. Jeanne used a rub-on for the tree and Stickles to add sparkle. She added texture with a texture hammer and then dabbed it with color. Make the holes with a Cropadile and link together with jump rings. We can’t wait to see what you can do with these Altered Blank Canvases!!

    What a sweet idea! This might even make a good pendant (maybe a little large).

    Alice, I made a mini journal pendant out of the square altered blanks and love it! I used the JR40 jump rings for the ring binding. It’s so cute.

    I love the idea of making mini jornals out of the smaller (original) altered blanks to wear as pendants. They will make such personal gifts! I can’t wait to try it!! Once again, you’ve filled my head with ideas. Thanks Vintaj!!
