July Progressive Challenge Step 2 CLOSED
For this step of the Progressive challenge, you will make the journaling box. Put everything you did in step 1 aside until step 3.

For this step, I want you to either use a pre-made journaling box or make one yourself. Handwrite or type your journaling, including something of interest more than just the place and date. Then do something to your journaling box using pens and/or inks. Do not add embellishments to the journaling box, you will have an opportunity to do that later.   Post a picture of your journaling box to this thread before next Monday July 15.

Here is my example, I cut my journaling box and punched the corners before I ran it through the printer. I added the lines with a pen and inked the edges in blue and then smudged some brown and green inks in one corner. I wasn't planning to smudge the inks in the corner but there was some ink on my finger and I decided that I liked it enough that I didn't want to re-print it. I have a lot of journaling, you don't need nearly this much.

Rules:
  • Do not save your place or edit your post. 
  • If you have questions ask. 
  • You need to finish this step and post it here before step 3 is posted to receive credit for an entry. You can still play along if you miss the deadline but make sure you post your step2 journaling box here before you go on to Step 3.
  • One entry per person. Combining will be allowed, but only at step 4.

I plan on layering my journaling card behind 2 photos so it looks a little weird right now!  😉

I made my tag using a jukebox die cut.  It was perfect for the shape that I wanted.  I inked the edges and did hand journaling.
