Welcome to Wednesday and the newest MidWeek Muse video where I’m working with manila file folders again, this time creating a vertically oriented journal.

The project offers lots of flexible options: you can include as many pages as you would like and can trim the file folders to make a journal that’s not quite so tall. I’ll show you techniques for adding color to your pages and one special technique to add hair to Stampotique’s Prom Queen stamp. Hair that’s almost dreadlocks and enhances PQ’s bad attitude, which she simply oozes! You’ve got to love a girl with attitude.

We’ve got all of your supplies; I stocked up on the Prom Queen stamp, along with File Folders, Dictionary Pages (make embellishments from painted pages), stencils, and other bits.
