Zippity Do Dah!

     What can I say?  The cool fall mornings put me in a giddy sing-song sort of mindset, so look out world (especially other drivers on the road)!  Don't you want to jump on the back of one of these elephants and go on an adventure?  We should go...just a quick field trip!
     You may have noticed that this cover incorporates some of the same paper that another Fall journal shares.  I tend to pick out papers based purely on what brings me delight in that moment.  I also try to pick up a "family" of papers.  Ones that compliment each other and can be layered and paired up in a visually pleasing manner.  Sometimes that means using papers by the same designer, as was the case with this journal, but sometimes its a mix & match process.  There are times when there is enough paper in a "family" to get more than one journal from them--and that makes my heart happy.  Though you're not able to see the inside, I also cover the inside covers with a coordinating paper, so all of this has to be taken into consideration when I purchase, and design!  I'm terribly excited to find that with all the scraps I have remaining from this paper, I have enough for a third(!) journal.  Now if that isn't a reason to sing Zippity-Do-Dah, I just don't know what is!
