Freebie Friday: Journal Words for Bookplates

Journal Words for Bookplates *Contains Affiliate Links
Hey junk journalers & all you crafty people! Today's Freebie Friday is so simple, and yet so useful! You've probably seen journals on Pinterest with those cute Tim Holtz Ornate Book Plates. Sometimes they even have words inside them with cute fonts and pretty backgrounds. You could probably make them yourself, but my motto is why do it myself when I can get a free download? Exactly!

So, today I have a free download for you of printable journal words specially designed with those bookplates in mind. You can choose from dark words on a light, vintage background or white words on a darker background. Just scroll through the photos to see how easy it is. Then go the bottom for your free download & get crafting! ;)

Be sure to SHARE your creations on the Crafting Ideas Facebook Page.

Words: Create, wish, dream, be still, imagine, bliss, love, garden, journal, junk, notes, abide, forever, memories, secrets, journey

TIP: Cut out your chosen word and then press against the back of the book plate. This will give you a raised guide for cutting.

Etsy Update: Shabby Alabaster Autumn

Here are a few more items I added to my Etsy shop this week. They all look like they match, but it wasn't planned. Completely random. I really LOVE making old items new again! And I added a touch of autumn white to get myself into the fall decorating mood. Enjoy!

Antique Dresser MAKEOVER

I was surfing Craigslist when I saw an ad for an amazing wooden radio cabinet. I knew I just had to have it!

I talked hubby into driving two hours with me to go get it. When we arrived at the store where it was being sold, I LOVED it and bought it. Then I started looking around and wow! There were LOTS of items in that store that I could have come home with! But I didn't. I was very restrained. I only bought a few books, some small hardware pieces and THIS!

 

You would have done the same. Trust me. The beautiful moldings, the pretty curves and character, character, character! This antique wood dresser with its dovetailed drawers and awesome hardware was mine. It had just been waiting for me to come and buy it and make it into a shabby chic masterpiece! I got to work sanding, priming, painting, sanding some more and glazing with a dark walnut stain. Here's the result. The hardest part was selling it!

This shabby chic dresser turned out beautiful! Elegant lines, pretty moldings and graceful curves. LOVE.

Yes, I painted the hardware. I used to leave it natural or replace or spray paint it on lots of my other pieces, but
then I saw someone else paint it and realized how incredibly charming it looked!
