The stamp sets are called: Journal It - Library Card; Document It - Right This Way. I have always been a huge fan of notebook edges, and ledger lines. So I was super giddy when I saw what was coming this month. These stamps and Die-namics are so fun to work with.

I put them to good use on another page for my Project Life album. I am still working my way through the Instagram pictures I had printed the other month. I dedicated this page to me and my littlest guy. Thanks to half-day Kindergarten, I've gotten lots of extra time with him this school year. He's my little shadow and I think I'm going to really miss him next year.

Here is the full page, and how it is in my album. Below, I'll show you a close up of the details and talk about what I used on each insert. I used papers from the Studio Calico-Darling Deer paper pack along with MFT Kraft cs. I used only MFT Premium dye inks on this-Wild Cherry, Sno Cone, and Black Licorice.

First Up my Check It Out insert. Love this little guy's silliness. I cut some Kraft cs with the new, INSERT IT-3X4 NOTEBOOK PAPER DIE-NAMICS. I then stamped some journal lines with the previously released, For the Record stamp set. It's a perfect fit! The rest of the stamps come from the DOCUMENT IT-RIGHT THIS WAY stamp set. All those fun, funky, and cool arrows are soooooo fabulous. I used two of them, look close, it's a subtle look on the Kraft cs, but it's there and I love what they add to this journaling insert.

Along the bottom I added two custom-made buttons, thanks to the new BUTTON BORDER DIE-NAMICS. I love that you get a solid border piece and lots of bits and pieces to use together with the border, or individually, like I did on this insert.

Here's another look at the finished insert. I added some of my own handwriting for the journaling. All my edges were also touched with a quick sponging of Walnut Stain Distress ink.

The middle insert and photo are my faves. It's a great picture of the two of us snuggling on the couch. I also reeeaaallllyyy like the new INSERT IT-3X4 POCKET Die-namics and JOURNAL IT-LIBRARY CARD stamp set. The two work so well together. Here they are together. I cut this library card out with the original, first released Insert-It Die-namics. Cut out the insert and then stamp the Library image and wah-la! A cute, handmade library card. It also works great with the new NOTEBOOK PAPER Die-namics, too.

Here is the Library card, outside of the pocket. I added some stamps from the JOURNAL IT-LIBRARY CARD set, stamped in Sno Cone. I also added an arrow from the DOCUMENT IT-RIGHT THIS WAY. Cool, isn't it??

Here is the pocket with the Library card pulled out. I used a strip of the BUTTONS BORDER to decorate it. Along the bottom of the pocket is a fun label from last month's release, Accent it-Labels and Tabs Die-namics. The word "US" was stamped from Document it-Off the Chart.

and how about a close up of the button border I created. I cut a solid strip and then a few of the matching individual buttons in different patterns. I adhered them to the top of the border strip and then added my favorite Hemp Twine.

The last couple of pockets were just as fun and quick to create. This time I used the 3x4 Insert It Die-namics. I stamped the same, Document it- For the Record, ledger lines in Wild Cherry Ink to match the top one, cut with the NOTEBOOK PAPER DIE-NAMCIS.

Here is a closer look. I love this solid arrow. It stamped beautifully with the MFT Black Licorice Ink. I covered the bottom half of the die with some coordinating floral paper and added another fun tab from the Accent It-Labels and Tabs Die-namics. To play up the ''office" or "library" theme, I used my Tiny Attacher to adhere the tab to the Insert.
